Vigorous discussions are afoot on how to retain what is being experienced – thanks to COVID-19. The air is pure, the roads are clear, the water is blue, the birds are back, no noise pollution and last but not the least human beings are getting used to getting back to basics.
It is a different world a world that our forefathers experienced but one wonders if once the lockdown is relaxed will people get back to their old habits!! There is so much at stake if they do. Surely one can make do with lots of what was once thought as a need. They were actually ‘wants’.
Amsterdam is relying on bicycles. Will that mode of transport be a new normal?

Are you ready to give up on your wants?

Yes

No

Some will change but the rest will return to their old habits. The world will still remain the same because the world has never learned and rectified in relation to learning from past history.
The Government could play a part in bringing sense in those who see no reason to change.
Yes but they will be limited. There are those who will do it in backdoors.
This is the first time that the human race has gone through this crisis where they have seen what difference it has made in their life when it comes to clean air, less noise, ………….Le’s wait and see.
I find that there are people that will never change and wish I did not have to deal with such nasty people but that is life. I fine there are those that have done right by the rules and others that just did not care and did not care if others wanted to follow the rules. I hope soon that things will go back to opening up and we can take off the masks and turn our faces towards the sun again. We are still wearing masks and they are opening things up but gradually here in Israel.
If each of us gave up something which we can do without we will be contributing a lot towards retaining the present air,
