@Krustok: Hope - is there any? This question is so strong right now. We are in a world where there are so many ongoing crises that we are overwhelmed. But, I still have hope, in this #ClimateChange discussion and in the ambitions. #YFUGC2022

@Krustok: "I'm confident in saying that the #FridaysForFuture school strikes were incredibly effective because the subsequent elections at EU institutions would not have gone this way without this movement. The policy changes, the #EuropeanGreenDeal... it was impactful." 2/2
