Ogg: We did it -- Ende Gelände VIDEO
Friends,
We actually did it! Together, over 3500 people from all over Europe have shut down one of its biggest and dirtiest polluters, to keep lignite coal in the ground here in Germany. And today, Germany showed how it could break free from fossil fuels: it produced 100% of its electricity consumption from renewables.
The scenes at Ende Gelände have been almost unbelievable: from the apocalyptic landscapes of Vattenfall’s dusty opencast lignite mines to the sight of thousands of tiny white-clad figures swarming together in huge ‘action fingers’ to shut down first the diggers, then the coal bunkers and train tracks, and onto the coal power plant itself. Authorities were utterly powerless to stop us.
Words just won’t do. WATCH AND SHARE THIS VIDEO.
What’s happened here in Germany has been echoed all around the world, a movement of (extra)ordinary people rising up to put an end to business as usual and break free from fossil fuels. At this point, anything else would be irresponsible.
The stakes for the climate are high - but spirits here at the Ende Gelände camp are also. By working together, in a principled and peaceful way, we’ve achieved something unprecedented by the European climate movement. We’ve called time on the fossil fuel industry - and we couldn’t have done it without every single person who tuned in and helped amplify Break Free.
It doesn’t end here. We still need to stop the sale of Vattenfall’s coal, and keep it in the ground.
You’ll hear from us in the coming days and weeks about further direct action to ensure Sweden keeps the climate promises it made in Paris.But for now, let's just take a moment to think about what we've achieved this weekend!
Louise
for the whole Break Free team in Europe and the 4000+ people still at Ende Gelände
