That's a very nice article. But if we want to support environmental activism and connectedness to nature in the next generation, maybe we should also leave them a funtioning environment and nature to connect to.

Wie wäre es dann, wenn die FDP (und CDU) aufhört die Schuldenbremse zu blockieren? Geht wohl leider nicht, hauptsache blockieren.
Großer Respekt geht raus an die Demonstrant:innen. Sehr schade, dass in dem Artikel der Tagesschau nicht über die Motive und die Gefahr durch die AFD berichtet wird.
Climate getting too hot for human civilization :(
Oder man berichtet auch Mal ein klein wenig über Verhinderung weiteren Klimawandels? Absolute Enttäuschung, dass es in so einem Artikel überhaupt nicht vorkommt.
Education has been tried for about 50 years and hasn't worked. I would have preferred if it did.
Activism and civil disobedience has historically worked. Civil rights, suffragettes, Ghandi just as some examples. And it is working right now, even if it's not obvious. For example https://ssir.org/articles/entry/protest_movements_could_be_more_effective_than_the_best_charities
Record sentences for climate protestors in England and Uganda, criminalization in Germany.
Examples:
The real criminals are the fossil fuel industry and the politicians allowing them to destroy our world for their own profit.
Finde es sehr gut, dass Nancy Faeser entsprechend lieber über die Sicherheit der Flughäfen redet statt über fossile Brennstoffe.
Laut Bundesinnenministerium sei zunächst versucht worden, mit den Flughäfen eine Erklärung zur Selbstverpflichtung für die Verbesserung von Schutzmaßnahmen abzuschließen. Das sei jedoch am Widerstand von zwei Großflughäfen gescheitert.
Auch sehr gut, wie unsere Wirtschaft da Mal wieder funktioniert, da wird bestimmt die FDP auch zufrieden sein.
Yes, there are some underlying issues which seem rooted in conservatisvism or rather its expression in modern politics.
But activism is not only about informing, it's about pressuring the ruling class. And the more people support it, the better it works.
The ruling class was against civil rights, women's rights, freeing slaves, Mahatma Ghandi, and so on. They were not convinced by facts, reason, or science. The people who are convinced by these need to show politicians that they are willing to stand up and protest if they don't listen.
Yes, it's hard. But I'd rather endure oppression than giving up.
However, there's a lot you can do to support without repression. You can provide social media support, help with designing banners and stuff, take and edit pictures and videos, provide food, or also legal support, just as some examples.
Also, the more people join protests, the harder it is for the state to oppress them.
There is something you can do. You can get into and support climate activism.
