There is a widespread view that climate change is solely an “environmental issue” – the latter often used as a blanket phrase to cover a multitude of supposedly fringe issues of no consequence to more mainstream concerns.
This leads to an increasing number of wrongly held perceptions. The most dangerous of such misconceptions is that environmental issues have no direct bearing on daily bread-and-butter matters. Attitudes on the environment are slowly beginning to change, yet in terms of policy, such concerns still have to be better integrated into all areas of policy. This need can be acutely felt in the domestic context.
