After Extinction Rebellion activists blocked a subway in London by climbing onto the roof of a train, passengers reacted furious and dragged activists from the roof or chased them on the roof. The action was then seen by the media as a “backlash” or “failure” [0]. Personally I do not share this view based on…
The official (German) final press release of the International Extinction Rebellion Week in Berlin is linked below [1]. My personal highlights: Active participation in the meeting “re:claim THE HOUSE” including member of parliament of various parties (CDU, SPD, Grüne, FDP, Linke) and various climate movements (Fridays/Scientists For Future, Extinction Rebellion, Ende Gelände,…) including Prof. Volker…

To support protests against the climate crisis, in addition to public protests, banners, etc, protest stickers are another medium to make your message visible and literally “stick”. Their advantage is that stickers can be distributed without causing to much attention, e.g. at a public place, without having to expect negative consequences for the protester. Stickers are also a nice give-away to passengers, esp if they are visually appealing.
Here, I would like to present a short tutorial how to design and print protest stickers. It is a work flow which I tested and worked for me:

”I used to think the top environmental problems were biodiversity loss, ecosystem collapse, and climate change. I thought that with 30 years of good science we could address those problems. But I was wrong. The top environmental problems are selfishness, greed, and apathy … and to deal with those we need a spiritual and cultural…
There are multiple factors which have lead from a solo strike by Greta Thunberg on 20 August 20, 2018, to a global climate and ecological movement with about 4 million people protesting on September 20, 2019, which are already sufficiently described [1]. However, the main factors are in my opinion that Greta Thunberg’s combination of…

Just some comments on some of her statements: Proposing a “global solution” after decades of political inaction on the international level, showing that there will be no global solution, means just continuing the old…
Program “Global Week For Future”, Uppsala (update: 2019-09-09, se Facebook Event) Note: Akta! Det finns två stora strejks (lite förvirrande): Den 23 september kallar FN:s generalsekreterare António Guterres världsledarna till ett extrainsatt klimatmöte på grund av de stora skolstrejkerna för klimatet. Runt detta möte planerar FridaysForFuture världen över en hel vecka av aktioner som börjar…
Inspired by a the following article [1], I thought about why male dominance behaviour seems to correlate with a large carbon footprint and its potential causes. Here, I would like to add an aspect based on a systemic approach considering also external factors since individual behavior is often explained by internal factors (e.g. personality) while…
For the artistically challenged, like myself, I will describe how to create a protest poster in high quality with a computer and a standard A4 colour printer: Basic idea: Design an A4 format poster, split it over several A4 sheets, print it, cut and glue it together on cardboard Note: If you download one of…
