The Valdorienne Geneviève Béland asks a fundamental question to the environmental activist Henri Jacob in this new firefight from Éditions du Quartz, which takes the form of a correspondence between two lovers of the territory separated by 30 years: “to you who has been fighting since before my birth: what are you holding on to? » Because in the face of ecocide propelled “by a bulimic capitalist system”, it becomes more and more difficult to hang on to the rest of the world. In a lively exchange full of hope and revolt, the two activists share their anger, their fears and their thoughts and denounce industrial abuses and the lack of vision of a politician who entrusts our soils and our forests to foreign companies without the slightest regional royalty or mitigation measure for the future. Although their speech highlights the dead ends that are multiplying on the path of those who dream of a greener world, it also recalls obvious avenues of solution, several of which are based on education and listening to those who will inherit our choices today as well as trusting them.
