BonjourNicolasHulot,bonjour.

Hello Nicolas Hulot, hello.

Alors,vous,vousprésidezvotrefondation,laFondationNicolasHulot,etilyaunan,vousavezlancéavecl'ADEME,l'Agencedel'environnementetdelamaîtrisedel'énergie,leDéfipourlaTerre.

So, you preside over your foundation, the Nicolas Hulot Foundation, and there is a project that you launched with ADEME, the Agency for the Environment and Energy Management, the Challenge for the Earth.

Vouspouveznousrappelerdequoiils'agit?

Can you remind us what it is about?

Ecoutez,simplementpourrépondreàunephrasequej'aisouvententendue,c'estdenousdireÉcoutez,onacomprisqu'ilyaunimpératifécologiquequis'imposeànous,qu'ilvafalloirchangerunpeunotresociété,notremodedeconsommationetnotremodedeproduction.

Listen, simply to respond to a phrase that I have often heard, it is to tell us Listen, we have understood that there is an ecological imperative that is imposed on us, that we will have to change a little our society, our mode of consumption and our mode of production.

Maisrégulièrement,j'entendslesgensmediremaisqu'estcequ'onpeutfaire?

But regularly, I hear people tell me what can we do?

Qu'estcequ'onpeutfaireànotreéchelleindividuelle?

What can we do at our individual level?

Etonavoulurépondreàçaavecl'ADEME,enproposantunchoixdecomportements,derévision,decomportements,derévision,degestesdeconsommation.

Eton wanted to respond to that with ADEME, by proposing a choice of behaviors, of revision, of consumption gestures.

Etdoncl'idée,c'estquechacunchoisissedanscescentainesdegestesquenousmettonsàleurdispositionaujourlejour,etbiendesgestessurlesquelsilss'engagentpourpesermoinslourdementsurnosressourcesnaturellesetmoinslourdementsurnosressourcesénergétiquesdontonvientencoredenousrappelerquemalheureusement,toutcelaestcompté.

And so the idea is that everyone chooses from these hundreds of gestures that we put at their disposal day by day, and well of gestures on which they commit to weigh less heavily on our natural resources and less heavily on our energy resources, of which we are reminded that unfortunately, all of this is counted.

Etnousvivonsdepuistrèslongtempsdansunecivilisationunpeudugâchis,pensantquenousavionsdesressourcesinfinies.

And we have been living for a very long time in a civilization a bit of waste, thinking that we had infinite resources.

Ehbien,ilesttempsqu'onserendecomptequemalheureusement,onvitsuruneplanètequiestlimitéeetqu'onnepeutpasluidemanderplusqu'ellenepeutnousdonner.

Well, it is time to realize that unfortunately, we live on a planet that is limited and that we cannot ask it for more than it can give us.

Donc,ilfautrégulerça.

So, we need to regulate that.

Etnousavons,nouslesindividus,unepartderesponsabilité.

And we have, we individuals, a part of responsibility.

Onn'apastouteslesresponsabilités,maisonpeutpassedédouanerensedisantnous,onnepeutpasfairegrandchose.

We do not have all the responsibilities, but we cannot pass the buck by saying we cannot do much.

Enfait,onpeutfaireénormémentdechosesetenplusonpeutlefairetoutenprotégeantl'environnementetenayantpoursoiungain,jediraismêmeéconomiqueetenmêmetempsjediraismêmeungainpsychologique.

In fact, we can do a lot of things and moreover we can do it while protecting the environment and having for ourselves a gain, I would even say economic gain and at the same time I would even say a psychological gain.

Parceque,qu'onleveuilleoupas,onestquandmêmeconditionnédansnosgestesdeconsommationetmêmedansnoscomportements.

Because, whether we want to or not, we are still conditioned in our consumption gestures and even in our behaviors.
