Save forests: protests against wooden power plants in Cuxhaven and around it

A huge outcry by the environmentalist: inside! In many places in Germany and other parts of the world, protests against the threatening plans for wood power plants took place. The alliance burned out in cities such as Berlin, Wilhelmshaven, Leipzig, Weilheim, Cuxhaven and Hamburg , while demonstrations worldwide destroyed biodiversity in Great Britain, Finland, Australia, Indonesia, Colombia and the USA.

With loud actions and speeches, the activists build on the World Biodiversity Conference COP 16 in Colombia. It is an alarming signal: Despite the terrifying forest losses and an acute climate crisis, immense amounts of wood are still fired as an energy source in Germany. The fourth forest inventory of the Federal Government shows that the forest has become a CO2 source from an important CO2-Senke-in Germany the forest has been exposed to more CO2 since 2017!

strong protest in Leipzig and Berlin

in Leipzig called for the activist: inside of "180 degrees burned out" this afternoon in front of the Connewitz gas power plant, a radical turn towards a climate -friendly heat supply. "Sustainable warmth without fossil fuels? This has to be implemented as soon as possible!" Said Jupp Trauth. Here the urgent need for a comprehensive heat plan is at the top of the agenda.

Also in Berlin a clear sign was set on Saturday: Greenpeace and the Berlin energy table protested in front of the Red City Hall against the plans of the Senate to introduce new wood -saving works. "This is absurd! Wooden-ups are sold as climate-friendly regardless of the great CO2 emissions!" Criticizes Julia Veihelmann from Greenpeace. Real alternatives such as geothermal energy or solar energy are required!

protests and actions across Germany

also Wilhelmshaven does not remain idle: In an impressive photo campaign, Annette Westerhellweg from Greenpeace threw a lightly on the responsibility of some companies. "The old foil of carbon use is simply glued over with wood - but that doesn't work! Our forests are valuable good, they cannot simply be given away!" Said Westerhellweg.

in cuxhaven is the resentment of the citizens: Tobias Söhl from Parents for Future describes the non -transparency of the operators of the wood -powered heating plant as unacceptable. "Confusion about the origin of wood? This is not possible! Our city and its inhabitants: inside are affected!" He demands more responsibility.

The activists in Weilheim also fight against the increasing use of wood as an energy source. Wood storage spaces were targeted here. "More and more concerns arise without knowing how much wood is really needed. Our forests must not be burned!" States the environmental group.

in Hamburg An informative evening on the subject of wood burning is offered for energy generation. Together, participants watch the film “More of Everything” and listen to exciting lectures to raise awareness of the problem.

The outcry of the environmentalists: "We are exploiting:" We are calling for a forest rescue package! Subsididas of wood burning must be stopped immediately! Our forests are our inheritance and our future! "
