The Hambach Forest is one of the oldest forests in Germany. He was 5.500 h 30 years ago. Now there are 1.000 h left, and in 5 to 10 years it's all gone. There are a lot's of villages that get destroyed by the open cast mining.
The open cast mining in the area is the biggest climat killer in europe. 1 Million tonnes of co2 a year gets into the air from the 3 large open cast mines. The Hambach open cast is the biggest and deepest (500 meters) in Europe. Also the open cast mines are radioactive and destroying the health of the people.
Come over and help us stopping this nightmare.
It's close to cologne and the german-dutsh baorder...
