With a symbolic red line between Lützerath and the Garzweiler open-cast lignite mine in North Rhine-Westphalia, 35 Greenpeace activists have been protesting since the early hours of the morning against the threatened destruction of the village by the coal group RWE.
They laid out a 277-meter-long, fire-lined strip of red fabric on Landstrasse 150. In the middle of the fabric it says “1,5 ° C LIMIT”. RWE plans to demolish Lützerath and another five villages in order to expand the opencast mine. In order for Germany to keep its contribution to limiting global heating to 1,5 degrees, coal may no longer be mined below this area, according to a current study by the German Institute for Economic Research (DIW).
