Our brave rebels are saying NO to dirty corporate lobbying, poisoning our food and contaminating our water.

📍HAPPENING NOW

@xrbelgium.bsky.social and activists from Greenpeace Belgium are blocking the offices of CEFIC, the European chemicals lobby group

‼️ 50 activists have declared the area a climate crime scene!

🚨The European Parliament just rejected the #Forest Monitoring Law 🚨

The proposal was a much-needed piece of legislation, essential to better understanding the state of Europe’s forests and how best to tackle their current breakdown.

🔥 🏭 Waste-to-energy is a FALSE solution to plastic pollution.

The REAL solution? CUT plastic production and scale up REUSE systems.

❌ Fossil Fuel projects ≠ Sustainable finance ❌

We, together with 120 organisations, call @ec.europa.eu to cut down the greenwashing opportunities & ensure companies developing new fossil fuel projects are 100% excluded from future sustainable financing regulation.

Scientists announce that 7 of 9 key 'planetary boundaries' have been crossed A team of global scientists issued a new report on Wednesday, noting that seven out of nine of key "planetary boundaries" have been crossed. Carbon dioxide emissions have increased ocean acidification...

New research shows that ocean acidification has now crossed the planetary boundary. That's 7 of 9 boundaries crossed. Capitalism is driving ecological catastrophe and will continue to do so until we align production to a new law of value.

⚖️ We find it UNACCEPTABLE that representatives of harmful dirty industries have unbothered access to European institutions. That is why we put the Commission’s president, Ursula von der Leyen, and the complicit lobbies on trial.

✊PEOPLE OVER LOBBIES

Interest groups play a significant role in shaping political decisions. This is particularly visible within the #European institutions, where #lobbyists representing harmful #industries continue to enjoy disproportionate access to decision-makers’ offices.
