This photo was taken in Warsaw in an effort with Avaaz.org to save the European Union Climate Package from utter failure and destruction. It wasn’t a total victory but we did manage to strengthen the package. Straight from Avaaz:
In the final hours, under intense pressure from her own citizens and people around the world, Chancellor Merkel scaled back her demands for loopholes that would have resulted in millions of tonnes of C02 emissions and handouts to heavy industry. The EU climate package is deeply flawed–but at the same time, it’s an important reminder of the power of ordinary people to shape the decisions of their leaders.
