Petitions to the Chamber of Deputies

OBJECT : We call for the creation of a legal framework allowing responsible bivouacking in Luxembourg under strict conditions respecting nature and following the "Leave No Trace" principle. Bivouacking differs from traditional wild camping: it is a light, temporary and discreet overnight stay in nature, generally limited to one night, between sunset and sunrise, without permanent installations or long-term occupation of the area. This practice is mainly used by hikers, cyclists, trekkers and outdoor travelers wishing to spend a night in nature while respecting the environment. The aim of this petition is not to authorize permanent or uncontrolled wild camping, but to allow a reasonable, discreet and responsible use of natural areas. We specifically propose: * authorization limited to one night in the same location; * a strict obligation to leave no waste behind; * prohibition of open fires; * full respect for private property, wildlife and flora; * prohibition in sensitive natural or protected areas; * use of lightweight and discreet equipment only. Several European countries already apply similar regulations successfully, balancing environmental protection with responsible access to nature. This measure would help: * promote sustainable tourism; * encourage outdoor and nature-based activities; * strengthen environmental awareness; * support a responsible and regulated outdoor culture in Luxembourg.

OBJECT : In the current context of geopolitical instability and energy shocks-particularly linked to the war in Iran and disruptions in energy markets-Luxembourg must strengthen its energy resilience by accelerating the uptake of efficient, low-carbon heating solutions such as heat pumps. We request that, solely for access to subsidies/financial support (Klimabonus) related to heat pumps, the current acoustic control method be adapted: the 40 dB(A) threshold would be maintained, but the assessment would be carried out at the relevant immission point (at the window closest to a noise-sensitive room at the neighbour's dwelling) rather than at the property boundary.

OBJECT : It is 2026, and we continue to see cigarette ends and other litter on the ground every day. Despite the 2012 law, which was tightened in 2022, some people continue to throw their cigarette ends on the ground without facing any consequences. This pollution, which is entirely preventable, should no longer be happening in 2026. (It is hard to understand how some people can still do this in full knowledge of the law...) Solutions must be found urgently to enforce the law. Without fines, attitudes will not change, despite the various awareness campaigns. Proof in action: Speed cameras help to reduce speeding. Breathalyser checks help to reduce alcohol abuse. Etc. We must therefore introduce police checks and issue fines to those who continue to throw away their cigarette ends or other litter. As a reminder, Singapore sets an example for us all. Throwing away a cigarette end is punishable by a fine of EUR12,400 and several hours of community service. Conclusion: no cigarette ends or chewing gum on the ground.
