Challenging EU Leaders // What’s Next for European Climate Policies ?

[@Claire-m7y]

As a us citizen I enjoyed this insight to Europe. Also girl, being invited to parliament is no joke! Girl you are such a bad ass!

[@Gittemary]

Thank youuuuu🥹🥰

[@randomrups2069]

Thank you so much for sharing this! I really appreciate both the groundedness and nuance that you always bring. Also, the dessert that "they put so much love into" made me laugh so much I had to go back and look at it again :D

[@Gittemary]

Thank you so much 🫶 yeah that dessert was 10/10 😂

[@lethalchicken1173]

So impressed by the Danish MEPs. What a breath of fresh air to see people who truly care in positions of influence

[@Gittemary]

They are both amazing, easy to talk to and so well rounded, it was an absolute pleasure ✨✨

[@vero2078]

Dear Gittemarie, it is amazing that you got this opportunity, and for the climate to become very important on the agenda it will take some time, and it is very sad that countries that have resources eg China as it was in the talks, does not want to contribute. Though EU is important I kinda lost my hope with them, I feel that people like you should have a voice and more power when it comes to climate. Keep doing this amazing work.

[@Gittemary]

Thank you for this, I appreciate the support 🫶 I understand that feel though, all to well, it’s hard to see the systems we live within go in this direction, and there are so many things I wish where different. What gives me hope is that I know there are people fighting for it ❤

[@deborahsalazar5617]

Politicians don’t answer your questions: they take your question as an opportunity to talk about what they want to present 😅learning that being in politics myself (member of les ecologistes in france)

[@Gittemary]

Truer words have never been spoken 😂

[@katiePBD]

Totally agree with what you said near the end of the video, Gittemarie, it would be easy to be discouraged with all the updates (or lack thereof) from COP29 and other projects. However, knowing there are people out there who are fighting so hard for our planet and our people every day is a reason to celebrate and keep working!

[@W1nray]

Thanks for sharing this! So interesting to see the three different interviews shown

[@Gittemary]

Thank you for watching 🎉

[@neurospicyrainbow]

you are able to live and breathe in activism! you have such a kind way about you, that I wish even 20% of our politicians can say the same.

[@Gittemary]

Wow this made my day 🥺🫶

[@francaaaaaaa]

Thanks for this video! I recently found out about EU citizen initiatives. With a certain number of signatures thinga have to be discussed in parlement. There is a list of the initiatives on their website. I also get emails from The Greens who sometimes encourage you to write politicians in the EU to vote in a way I would want. This resulted in a little succes on the deforestation legislations last week.

[@Gittemary]

😍🫶 go off queen!!

[@anniehosking2408]

Definitely better in the EU than out. I wish the UK still was a member.

[@Gittemary]

Absolutely, we miss you!!

[@crowgrl13]

I would love it if he'd just been like, "You know what? It's hard to come up with ideas to fight plastic pollution. Do you have ideas?" Because then it shows that he's at least open to ideas.

[@Gittemary]

That would have been great 🫠

[@ellepicauly205]

This video was so great! Its really nice to have this insight. Thank you!

[@Gittemary]

Thank you so much!!

[@antzieisme]

You can always wrap the book with newspaper or a paper bag or something so people don’t know what you’re reading 😈 It’s so exciting that you were invited to the EU Parliament! Congratulations and thank you for speaking up!

[@Gittemary]

I definitely need to do that 😂

[@annafromiztok]

And it gets people guessing! You see their faces trying to find a reason for the cover 😅

[@thinkingbout]

Thank you for the insights out of Strassbourg! ❤

[@Gittemary]

Thank you for watching 🎉

[@mspasillas]

Such an important video! Thank you Gittemary

[@Gittemary]

Thank you for watching 🎉

From a french person, it is not wine and lasagna but a martini glass and a club sandwich 🤣

[@Gittemary]

EVEN BETTER ✨😂

[@DanielaMedina-jg2kk]

Do you have a video about how to talk to government representatives about climate policies? It would be great to learn from your experience on this

[@HunterSeth]

If I had known that you were going to participate in this, I would’ve told you that you should tell them to stop producing reusable bags because they’re becoming just like plastic ones, just as problematic…

[@Gittemary]

ooooooh this is such a massive pet peeve of mine, we have ENOUGH now 😳

[@HunterSeth]

@ yeah, they’re “reusable” ffs people, reuse them.

[@angeladol6140]

Thank you

[@Gittemary]

Thank YOU 🫶

[@alosplanetas]

Thank you for the video! You mentioned Gaza... What would you like to see the EU do to alleviate the situation there?

[@nhuslage]

Thank you for this video. It was very informative.

[@Gittemary]

Thank you for watching 🎉

[@DanielaMedina-jg2kk]

Can you share the full back and forth with the commissioner? I hate how he totally ignored your question and ranted about plastic 🫣
