Recordist's notes

In the last part of our conversation, Rudi and Stefan poignantly highlight how their local struggle also raised their awareness on a global level; global environmental issues begin to reflect to them the very situation before their own doorsteps. A recent event with Wilfried Bommert was explititely following up on the wider global connections of land grabbing, environmental consumption, and local Initiatives of environmental preservation. Ihre wachsenden Erfahrungen, so Rudi und Stefan im letzten Teil unseres Gesprächs, führten auch dazu, ihren Blick auf globale Entwicklungen zu schärfen. Globale Umweltkonflikte spiegeln ihnen die Situation vor ihrer eigenen Haustür wider. Eine Veranstaltung mit Wilfried Bommert verfolge kürzlich ausdrücklich diese globalen Zusammenhänge des “Land Grabbing”, des Landschaftsverbrachs und des Umweltschutzes vor Ort. see : http://www.weetfeld.de “Citizen Association Against the Destruction of the Weetfeld Environment” (Bürgergemeinschaft gegen die Zerstörung der Weetfelder Landschaft)
