The Hambacher Forest 29.9.2018

in blog •  6 years ago 

In Germany there is a small but 12000 years old forest that shall be chopped in the next month. The carbon coil beneath it shall be transformed into electricity. A lot of people demonstrate against it. Today I was one of them.
I walked for three hours through this forest.

In Germany we produce more electricity than needed. We don't need carbon coil any more.

I have seen lot of masked people that didn't want to get pictured.
On one place people created barricades.
There were about 70 people that carriered one log of wood. I have never seen something like this before.

All in all we were more than 10000 people in this forest today. And in other cities have been demonstrations also.
