 Quote from Fridays For Future Russia (@FFFRussia): **"We reject all military conflicts. In a situation where the world is suffering from climatic, environmental and other crises, war will only exacerbate these crises, it will not help solve them. In the present time, all conflicts must be resolved through diplomacy and not by spilling the blood of civilians in other countries."**
-We demand an immediate end to the hostilities and withdrawal of Russian troops from the Ukrainian territory!
+Wars are impacting many people all around the world and in many cases, competition and dependence on fussil energy resources are a cause to these conflicts. We set up [[:efficiency_now|a special section on these pages]] where appropriate substantiated information will be provided about how fossil fuel dependency can be reduced also at short notice. Besides sufficiency measures (yes, these can also help), this will relate above all to easily implementable efficiency measures which enable quite noticeable reductions with reference to safety, health, avoiding harm, saving costs and at the same time reducing CO2 emissions. Energy efficiency (that is the reduction of energy losses) is a decisive contribution to peace with nature - and thus a contribution to peace among humans.

-This war is impacting many people all around the world. Once again, it has become clear where our dependence on fossil energy sources has led us to. We will shortly set up [[efficiency_now |a special section on these pages]] where appropriate substantiated information will be provided about how this dependency can be reduced at short notice. Besides sufficiency measures (yes, these will also be needed here), this will relate above all to easily implementable efficiency measures which enable quite noticeable reductions with reference to safety, health, avoiding harm, saving costs and at the same time reducing CO<sub>2</sub> emissions.
