Green Commune. Cooperatives above divisions. INTERVIEW by Marcin Fajerski
AD: An increasing number of German residents, the UK Britain or Greece feels responsible for climate change and rising greenhouse gas emissions. Prosumers know that cooperatives are not only an ecological but also a cost-effective solution. In Poland, in my opinion, there is a good ground for cooperatives to become a driving force for renewable energy. You just need to revive it somehow.
