A big Dutch company has patented melons, tomatoes, cucumbers and potatoes. This has been possible because of a flaw in European patent law. Raise your voice against patents on conventional breedings! We need to fight any attempt of big companies trying to iniquitously appropriate common goods as nature. Tell the social democratic federal attorney general in Germany to close the loophole.

Die Trump Regierung drängt um das bislang unberührte arktische Schutzgebiet für Ölbohrungen zu öffnen - ein Schachzug der eines der letzten unberührten Gebiete und Heimat der Gwich´in irreversivlen Schaden zufügen würde. In der Kälte kann das Öl bei einem Unfall zudem nicht abgebaut werden. Bitte unterschreiben Sie auch folgende Petition von NRDC.

The Trump administration is rushing forward with a reckless plan to throw open America’s pristine Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to oil drilling — a move that would cause immediate, devastating, and irreversible damage to one of the last completely unspoiled wild places on earth which is home to the Gwich´in people. When an oil spill happened the oil could not be degraded due to the low temperatures. Please sign in addition: this petition from NRDC.
