FILMS AND DEBATES TO INSPIRE A BETTER FUTURE: THE GREEN SCREEN

Are you an activist, community leader, academic, journalist, or simply
someone looking for a way to get politically engaged in this uncertain
time? While the pandemic has kept many of us at home this past year, the
crisis has also foregrounded the pressing issues of our time and our common
uncertain futures in the face of these challenges. That is why we decided
to create the Green Screen: a series of film screenings followed by
engaging discussions on the contemporary issues we face today as well as
artistic performances.

Many of us have already seen images from the underwater gas pipeline
rupture in the Gulf of Mexico. Although they look unfathomable, these
images are very real. The fire blazed for more than five hours before it
was put out - already too late to avoid the devastating impact of the gas
penetrating the gills and skin of fish and other marine wildlife.

TURKEY LEAVES THE ISTANBUL CONVENTION DESPITE CALLS TO 'STOP THE
WITHDRAWAL!' BY CIVIL SOCIETY

Despite conservative reactionary groups arguing against the convention,
only a slim 17% of citizens approved the move while almost 64% opposed it
according to a July 2020 poll [10]. Another poll [11] taken in August 2020
showed that only 7% approved. Many citizens have been protesting the
withdrawal from this treaty in the last few months.

NO TO BOTTOM TRAWL FISHING!

Bottom trawl fishing is the devastating commercial practice of using giant

THOMAS WEITZ’ VISIT TO BULGARIA 

Co-Chair of the EGP committee, Thomas Weitz just returned from his visit to
Bulgaria. Together with the Bulgarian Greens co-chair Borislav Sandov, he
visited several sites/forests around Sofia where illegal logging is taking
place. He reflected that there is a lot of beautiful and important natural
heritage to protect. Unfortunately, some individuals are focused on profits
not protection! The EU needs to ensure that EU funds are controlled
properly and not misused. Join the conversation | Twitter [22] | Instagram
