Activists closed meat department supermarket

Climate Camp Action in Antwerpen August 6, 2009 – A group of 40 people closed the meat department in the Delhaize supermarket on the Meir in Antwerpen. The production and selling of meat and dairy contributes world wide more to the emission of the greenhouse gasses than all the traffic and transport together. According to the activists it is about time do do something against this activity that is causing world wide so much misery. The action went well. The security of the shopping mall reacted quite aggressive, but the manager of the supermarket prefered a group of concerned citizens informing his costumers about meat production above a big fuss in his shop.
