NABU should focus on serious environmental problems

Counter-comment to NABU's criticism of the Hamburg Harley Days

NABU Hamburg sharply criticizes the Harley Days and calls for their cancellation due to the environmental damage caused by engine noise and exhaust fumes. However, this attitude ignores the variety of challenges we have to face in the areas of environmental protection and sustainability. Instead of focusing on an event, NABU address serious and lasting problems.

An example of this is the increasing damage that wind turbines are causing to the environment. Although touted as an environmentally friendly alternative, they have a significant negative impact on bird populations and the local ecosystem. A committed commitment by NABU would make more sense here and would contribute to long-term improvements.

The climate agenda is often misused as a pure money machine, as the recently uncovered CO2 scandal shows. The focus should therefore be on real and measurable progress rather than attacking popular events like Harley Days . These events not only attract large numbers of visitors, but also contribute to the city's cultural diversity and economic development.

Hamburg has the potential to be a sustainable metropolis without sacrificing its cultural events. A balanced approach that takes into account both environmental protection and the city's cultural and economic diversity would be the right way forward.

It should also be borne in mind that modern motorcycles are already more environmentally friendly and produce lower emissions due to increasingly strict EU standards such as Euro 5+ and Euro 6. And don't forget that Harley-Davidson in particular has been working on alternative drives for many years.

Ultimately, NABU Hamburg focus its energy and resources on truly sustainable and long-term projects that make a real difference to the environment, rather than demanding symbolic measures that do little to solve the larger problems.
