The climate activists of “Last Generation Uprising” caused an uproar on social media with a protest on Tuesday. In the morning they painted their demands to the Chancellery and streamed the event live on Instagram.

A small group of climate activists tried on Tuesday to write demands to Chancellor Olaf Scholz on the outer wall of the Berlin Chancellery in red. The police stepped in and had the lettering removed, as could be seen on a live stream of the action on Instagram.

Group formed after hunger strike

The group “uprising of the last generation” was founded after a hunger strike lasting several weeks before the general election. She is calling for a law against food waste on the grounds that greenhouse gases can be avoided very quickly.

Bad for the environment: you should ignore these products when you next go shopping


Animal products such as meat and sausage If you want to live healthier and protect the environment, you should eat less beef. A new study confirms this impressively. Switching from beef to alternative sources of protein such as legumes could reduce the number of diet-related deaths worldwide by up to 2.4 percent. At the same time, the study shows that beef production was responsible for 25 percent of all greenhouse gas emissions from the food sector in 2010. Alternative protein sources could therefore significantly reduce emissions. Read more about that here.

In a public debate with Olaf Scholz a month ago, the group had already threatened further actions of civil disobedience if the new government did not clearly switch to more climate protection. Scholz had approached the group after the week-long hunger strike by the two activists: Lea Bonasera and Henning Jeschke.

During the conversation, however, the two parties clashed, sometimes violently. The Chancellor accused Bonasera and Jeschke of not making any concrete proposals for combating the climate crisis, but of merely describing the dangers. According to their own statements, the activists wanted to reply with a graffiti “Olaf Scholz is not a climate chancellor”, but were stopped by the police. For a protest in January, they are now threatening to block the autobahn.
