WE NEED YOUR HELP

One of Germany’s oldest forests is about to be destroyed for charcoal!

The Hambacher Forst is 12,000 years old and the oldest trees about 350 years old and is home to many animals and plants.

But now the energy company RWE wants to clear it to get charcoal for coal-fired Power stations.

There are 150 activists that try to save it but get brutally dispelled by 3500 policemen. 17 got arrested, many got hurt.

Please, sign the petition to stop the clearing!

I’m sorry that it’s German, I hope it also works for those who don’t understand German or live in Germany.

It’s happening, it’s real, right now.

Another example of the police protecting business interests and not the interests of the public, or even the interests of our planet.

Please share this, sign the petitions, talk about it, it can’t go unheard or unseen.

Guys, yesterday they cleared over the half of the camp and treehouses. It was a long fight over years, but at least this is getting some more attention. I’m moved that this reached me over tumblr from people around the globe! Amazing! Keep spreading this!

What we can do in Germany is boycott RWE and sub-companies like Innogy. Check your electricity-providers if they’re in touch with RWE. Germany does not need any charcoal mining. Most of the electricity is being exported to other countries. Many people don’t know anything about that, but still are against the consequences. Talk to others! Here is a good article about this:

There are many policeman*women that are disproportionately

violent and treating the protesters like terrorists (even calling them that).

Keep protesting!

Here’s a very good and objective report about the activists and the treehouses, they choose to show to press and public, from last year:
