Interesting ideas for the solution of the energy crisis in Europe continue to come. Finally, Simonetta Sommaruga, the Swiss Federal Minister of Environment, Transport, Energy and Communications, recommended that citizens take a shower together.
According to the news in Swiss media Blick, Minister Sommaruga urged individuals and businesses to use resources sparingly in order to better combat the impending energy shortage.
In his advice to citizens, Sommaruga suggested that electronic devices and lights should not be used unnecessarily, and that very low temperatures should be avoided for the refrigerator.
“WE SHOULD TAKE A SHOWER TOGETHER”
In the statements that are on the agenda in the country, the ‘shower’ part attracted the most attention. Sommaruga against the energy crisis “We should shower together.” used the phrases.
Speaking in an interview with “Tages-Anzeiger”, the Minister of Energy added:
“I know from a certain age that showers for two no longer please everyone.”
On the other hand, many ridiculed Minister Sommaruga’s proposal.
The surprising statement was also on the agenda on social media. Regarding Minister Sommaruga’s words, citizens argued that a two-person shower was unnecessary to save money.
