Anti-nuclear Human Chain demonstration in Strasboug in front of the European Parliament

In the context of the next European elections and the commemoration of the Fukushima disaster (March 11, 2011), we ask the candidates to commit, without compromise, to a European turn towards renewable energies and a green taxonomy without greenwashing or nuclear energy. We ask to abolish the obsolete EURATOM treaty and to vote for a treaty for the development of renewable energies. The European EU Parliamentarians have a responsibility to oppose the lobbying of multinationals and make clear decisions for the future of the planet
INFORSE-Europe co-signed the petition together with 50+ organisations and networks from 12 European countries (Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Finland, Germany, Hungary, Netherlands, Romania, Russia.

European HEAT PUMP USER SURVEY

INVITATION TO HEAT PUMP USER SURVEY in European Countries
INFORSE-Europe is making an online survey on the satisfaction of heat pumps. They are an important heating source in a 100% renewable heating system, so it is important that users are happy with them. Therefore, we are making this survey together with European Environmental Bureau (EEB) and the Coolproducts Campaign for EU+ Norway and UK. Your answers to these questions will, together with answers from users all over Europe, show how satisfied users are with heat pumps and solar heaters. As a result, we hope that we will understand more, what can motivate more people to choose clean heating alternatives.
If you have heat pump as main heating, please fill it in. And if you know others with heat pump heating, please send them the link or share this post. The survey takes approximately 5 minutes.
The links to the survey in different EU languages are: Heat Pump Survey
