Tina, Marita and David Dresen live in the town of Kuckum in North Rhine-Westphalia. In addition to four other inhabited places (Keyenberg, Unterwestrich, Oberwestrich, Berverath), Kuckum is to be destroyed for the Garzweiler opencast mine. This is what the RWE Group and NRW Prime Minister Armin Laschet want. Anyone who does not go voluntarily will be expropriated.

A study commissioned by Greenpeace shows that RWE would not need coal even if the company wanted to mine lignite by 2038. But RWE doesn't want to forego profit. In order for Germany to comply with the Paris Climate Protection Agreement, we would have to get out of lignite, the most harmful energy source, much earlier.

Destroying your home and burning the climate? Let's stop the destruction!
