π¨The European Parliament just rejected the #Forest Monitoring Law π¨
The proposal was a much-needed piece of legislation, essential to better understanding the state of Europeβs forests and how best to tackle their current breakdown.

No to the dismantling of the European Green Deal!
π₯ π Waste-to-energy is a FALSE solution to plastic pollution.
The REAL solution? CUT plastic production and scale up REUSE systems.

β Fossil Fuel projects β Sustainable finance β
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.
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.

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

βPEOPLE 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-makersβ offices.
