Fight for a cause

Interview with Bente Lorentzen in Svolvær, association Folkeaksjonen, Svolvær, 2015
 

The most difficult thing is to keep on motivating people, because it’s demotivating to fight for a cause and then they say « OK we save this area, but only for a few years », and then again you have to mobilize, and you have to use a lot of energy on this matter.
A lot of people can get demotivated by this process taking so many years. Always like postponing the final decision. But for every time we postpone, the more people are concerned about climate change, more people are considered about how we decide to treat the renewable resources, everything from the fisheries to renewable resources.
