How can improvements in public transport be achieved in concrete terms? How can our landscapes be preserved?

Indeed, decisive initiatives can be taken in communities. But also the &#8220;Energy Weeks&#8221;, during which low and passive houses as well as well renovated old buildings are visited, is an important action of the Mouvement Ecologique. Just like the &#8220;ice house&#8221; action: for 1 month, a block of ice was enclosed in a well-insulated model house on the &#8220;Place d&#8217;Armes&#8221;, with the result that after 1 month without cooling measures, over 60% of the ice block was still present.
