27.500 euro boete na 7 jaar?!

So apparently a gas company got fined 27.500 euro for... well, letting gas escape into the air back in 2017. Not exactly gezellig for the environment, right? In this episode, Sophie, Daan and I talk about what happened in Loon op Zand when Vermilion was drilling for aardgas and things went a bit wrong. We keep it simple, we keep it real, and yeah, we might disagree a bit about who's responsible when companies mess up. Here's my question for you: Do you think a fine like this is genoeg? Or should companies pay more when they damage het milieu? Listen, practice, and don't stress about understanding elk woord. Kleine stappen tellen! You're doing great.
