- The COVID-19 pandemic hit the fitness sector very hard, but now, finally, customers are returning. We want to help people stay healthy.
- Hi, I am Ivan. I am the co-owner and manager of a small gym near Sofia's business park. My dream is to be able to expand my business to other cities in Bulgaria.
- Our staff had no problem working from home during the COVID-19 pandemic, but now most of us have returned to the office.
- Hi I am Nelly, I am a product manager at an ICT company based in Plovdiv. We work on digitalization of government and public services.
- It will be great to be able to choose more zero-emission technologies for personal cars, such as electric drive or hydrogen, but we need to invest in public transit.
- I started learning more on this topic - in the news and on the Internet. I want to find out more about the science behind climate change.
- I used to think climate change was made up or not a very big problem, but all the recent news of heat records and forest fires are worrying . What if it is true?
- I have been following the news on climate change and nature destruction - I watch documentaries on disappearing Arctic ice and rising sea levels. I sometimes donate money to nature protection organizations, and volunteer in cleanup campaigns.
- I am worried it may be TOO LATE to reverse the destruction of nature and stop global warming. Even if we start now, we may fail to stop the warming.
- Agroforestry is a sustainable farming method, which is traditional for the Bulgarian mountainous areas, andwill be relied upon to store carbon.
- I understand that if climate change is caused by our carbon emissions, we must close down industry and stop using fossil fuels, in order to decarbonize. But this will slow the Bulgarian economy, hurt workers and make other polluting countries and regions more competitive than the EU
- Also, maybe we don't need to do anything. Perhaps some future technology can help cool the Earth without killing our economy.
- I think about today's children, who will have to live in a climate crisis.
- I am afraid the only option to prevent a catastrophe is to have less children, as we seem unable to reduce our energy use or consumption. But it pains me to think of empty schools and playgrounds.
- Ending coal electricity generation and transitioning away from using oil and gas over the next decade, can help to cut 12.5 billion tons of CO2 emissions annually, according to UN scientists.
- Adopting renewable energy solutions in industry, improving factory energy efficiency and putting a higher price on CO2 emissions, can save 7.3 bullion tons of annual emissions by 2030.
- What if a power plant or a cement plant in Bulgaria is forced to close, as, due to the high cost of CO2 on the ETS, it is not competitive with similar plants in the Western Balkans, who are not part of the EU? Wouldn't then Bulgaria have to import the cement, or electricity, produced with "free" CO2 emissions in non-EU countries? This arrangement is not fair!
- Electrifying passenger cars and public transport, shifting from air travel to high speed trains, and creating spaces to walk and cycle, can reduce CO2 emissions by 4.7 billion tons annually, and also reduce road traffic deaths.
- By retrofitting public, commercial and residential buildings, adopting higher standards for energy efficiency and integrating rooftop solar energy generation and storage, CO2 emissions from the buildings sector could be reduced by 5.9 billion tons annually, improving health and well-being.
- Stopping deforestation and restoring degraded forests can absorb 5.3 billion tons of CO2 emissions annually in forest biomass and soils. More can be absorbed by afforestation (planting new trees). Such measures also help retain water in the soil and cool the local microclimate.
- Significantly reducing food waste along food supply chains, as well as switching to more plant-based diets could reduce CO2 emissions from agriculture by 6.7 billion tons per year, but adaptation for the sector to climate extremes is also needed.
- I read on an Internet blog that the varying intensity of the sun's radiation and the orbital changes of the Earth are causing global warming - not humans!
- 1st
- I am afraid that the EU Green Deal is just an empty declaration of solidarity with the rest of the world, to show the EU is a climate leader, when it is not.
- I imagine that volcanic eruptions, like those in Iceland and Indonesia in 2021, probably emit much more CO2 than any human activities can.
- I fear the EU Green Deal will impact our economic freedoms - by forcing people not to fly and making the shipping of consumer products more expensive.
- The atmosphere is very complicated. The water vapor in clouds also acts as a greenhouse gas. It is difficult to be certain about the role of CO2.

- The EU Green Deal might help banks, big companies and investors realize profits from the green transition, but what about modest households and family businesses, who cannot afford to buy electric cars or build zero-carbon homes and offices ?
- I see the EU has set a net-zero target for 2050. I help my fitness clients set ambitious targets. We call these "stretch" targets (very hard to reach).But is the net-zero by 2050 really a stretch target for the EU? What about the 55% target for 2030?
- While all renewable energy sources generate power or heat without emitting CO2, they may still have an ecological footprint - hydropower plants may block the migration of fish and destroy river ecosystems. Burning wood biomass for energy destroys forests. We must select the least ecologically harmful RES.
