Director Werner Herzog wants to improve the environment

German director and actor Werner Herzog (“Fitzcarraldo”, “Nosferatu – Phantom of the Night”) does not want to rely on politics to improve the environment. “It makes no sense to ask politicians to find solutions. We can do much more as individuals,” said the 79-year-old to the newspaper “La Stampa”. For example, Herzog says he makes sure his salad doesn’t rot, and he drives less than he did 20 years ago.

“If everyone reduced their consumption, we would have clear results,” Herzog continued. The younger generations protested, but demanded the revolution from the politicians, which affects everyone, said the native of Munich. According to Herzog, Swedish climate protection activist Greta Thunberg has set a good example. She almost always wears the same clothes and went to the USA by boat. She is hers.
