334,919 Europeans are refusing to be treated as if they can't tell the difference between a plant-based burger and a beef burger. Tomorrow the European Parliament will vote on the censorship of plant-based food names. Today we presented our petition to MEP Anna Strolenberg.

Two years ago scientists across Europe demonstrated to give genes a chance to be in Europe's agriculture toolbox. This week it looks like the EU listened! So, we're cautiously celebrating. We are currently studying the text, but for now thank you Europe for giving genes a chance!

This weekend, WePlanet coordinated a protest against the closure of Doel-2 near Antwerp. The owner, French energy company Engie, wants to get rid of their nuclear assets as they'll be more profitable selling gas for the foreseeable future, to burn when renewables don't deliver.
