In white full-body suits, so-called Morphsuits, they are imitating a group of people with respiratory diseases. The refugees are coughing and struggling for air in this choreographed performance until they finally receive oxygen masks, with which they can breathe again. The activists are holding signs saying "Clean air is our right!" and "Let us breathe!".With this performance protest Greenpeace is drawing attention on the soon expected verdict of the Federal Administrative Court on possible driving prohibitions for diesel cars.In original language:Performance Aktion fur sauber Atemluft in StuttgartFuer saubere Atemluft in Staedten demonstrieren 40 Greenpeace-Aktivisten auf Deutschlands schmutzigster Verkehrskreuzung, dem Neckartor in Stuttgart. In weißen Ganzkoerperanzuegen, so genannten Morphsuits, stellen sie symbolisch auf rund 200 Metern eine Gruppe Atemwegserkrankter dar, die aus der Stadt fliehen. Die Fluechtenden husten und ringen um Luft in einer choreographierten Performance bis sie schließlich Sauerstoffmasken erhalten, mit denen sie wieder atmen koennen. Aktivisten fordern auf Schildern „Saubere Luft ist unser Recht“ und „Lasst uns Luft zum Atmen“. Greenpeace macht mit der Protestaktion auf das am kommenden Donnerstag erwartete Urteil des Bundesverwaltungsgerichts zu moeglichen Fahrverboten für Diesel-PKW aufmerksam.Locations:Europe-Germany-StuttgartDate:19 Feb, 2018Credit:© Ruben Neugebauer / GreenpeaceMaximum size:4000px X 2667pxKeywords:Actions and protests-Air pollution-Cities-Clean Air (campaign title)-Climate (campaign title)-Day-Greenpeace staff-Greenpeace volunteers-KWCI (GPI)-Medium group of people-Outdoors-Performing artists-Political concepts-Roads-Signs-Street theatre actions-Theatrical costumes-Traffic-Transportation-Urban Mobility (campaign title)Shoot:Performance Action for Clean Air in StuttgartHow dangerous NO2 is for human health has been proven in numerous scientific studies. In high concentrations it irritates the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract and eyes - even with short contact. In the long term, the risk of asthma and lung cancer increases. Lung growth in children is also impaired.
