The "ecologists" and environment "protectors" still try to find new ways how to charge for something. The best is what everyone needs and the most often. The payments should be the cure for the problems of the mankind. A real ecologist searches the solutions of the problems. "Ecologic" companies search the ways, how to charge for the problems. One of them is also the company peculiarly called The Climate Company, which takes charge of the stickers sale for German cities.

The establishment of "ecological" zones was started in Germany by 1st January 2008. The amount of cities intrested in this programme increases rapidly and soon all bigger cities are going to have an "ecological" zone. The condition to enter it is to own the sticker, sold by the company. It is interested in the emissions permissions business, where anyone can pay out of his emission sins. According to the Euro standard, fulfilled by the car, one of four colours of the sticker can be bought. But it can be ordered by internet according to the vehicle type, which is to be entered into the selected field. Nobody checks the real state of the vehicle.

What is wrong on this approach? Nobody is really interested in a solution of a problem. The goal is to charge for the entry somewhere, where everyone must go sometimes. The charge does not differ how often someone goes there, anyone who wants to get there from any reason must buy the sticker. So every tourist needs one, even if he is there only for a couple of hours during several years. Otherwise he will be charged a fine. The details about the stickers can be found directly on the company site, see the link below.
