Three years ago, the EU played a major role in the Paris Agreement – it is time to bring that to life! After all, the goals set are still far too low to meet the international law obligations from this agreement. The historical emissions of the EU are not even taken into account.

Chemistry: for many greens a mysterious science, for me a good friend. The REACH legislation, at least partly a real GREEN success, has accompanied me for years of my professional life. Much of this directive is really good: for the first time, substances can be restricted in their use if there are better alternatives; the tens of thousands of “old substances” that were already on the market before the first chemicals law came into force in 1979 were finally examined; Consumers receive comprehensive information rights.
