Miloš Biković: Between earning from lithium and a healthy environment, I choose clean rivers, mountains and air

Environmental protests draw attention to certain topics and issues, and they have succeeded in doing so. But protests are not in themselves the solution to the problem.

Actors and celebrities can draw attention to certain topics and raise questions that may then lead to an awakening or a shift in consciousness. But they cannot be the saviors of the people or the messiah
