This makes me...upset...and glad. As if it takes a virus to realise and change behaviour.
Edit: another upside was mentioned earlier in the CO2 drop. Will we in the future see politicans limiting number of aircrafts / year?

There are several problems with this photos. Problems in the blue hues for example. Many of those photos show an unnatural (slightly milky) hue of blue. If they analyze this water I bet that they will discover traces of bleach and maybe some methylene
The seaweeds shown are also a bad, not good sign. Its population will increase in the next months probably. Is a chinese invasive species that shouldn't be in Venice.
So I'm afraid that Not, nature will not reconquest Venice in two weeks. This is publicity.
The water looks "more clear" - There !
Who cares if it is publicity, if it becomes a big things and raises awareness that's good.
Stop being so negative for no reason.
> without large amounts of human waste
Venetia is directly connected with the mediterranean, a closed sea in a heavily populated and polluted area. Even if human waste will decrease in Venetia, the human waste created in Padua or Trieste will reach the coast and be redistributed again by tidal forces. Is unavoidable and nature will manage it.
So is probable that in a short term period the algae will rebloom to use all of the nutrients released by extraordinary coronavirus cleaning measures. I would not be surprised if a red tide event happens. Either that, or the sargassum will take all.
If Italians really want to improve nature in Venetia, they should be using this extraordinary grace period to do something about it. Something more than upload photos to instagram or twitter. Is an once in life opportunity.
But you know and what you think is silly may be effective and better in the long run. We need more 'silly' ideas in order to find a good one. In contrast, you can't have unlimited flights either, where the toughest and most powerful airline can fly the most just because they can cope with high taxes. That would only favour the big airlines.
We see that this virus has been really effective in lowering emissions. We're talking about changing human behavioural patterns deep within, I don't think taxes can create such a strong force.
What do you mean by trade system? Not sure I understand that.
I get that this is a limitation you agree with, but if you agree with the idea of politicians limiting things people want (flights and travel are things people want!), remember you won't get much sympathy when they will use it to limit something you want. Everything we do is somebody's pet cause.
