Louvre Pyramid Painted by Last Renovation

   Friday morning, October 27th, a dozen supporters Last Renovation threw orange paint on the Louvre Pyramid to demand the government thermally renovate buildings in France, their single demand. Their recommendations are firm, maintain a dynamic of 700,000 renovations/year to drastically increase the share of overall renovations. Also, to target specifically the housing which is least energy efficient first.
   The action started with a single supporter climbing the Louvre Pyramid, without any equipment, except some climbing shoes. Once they’d achieved a huge crowd, and a sufficient height, paint was let lose on the architecture. Then, a dozen other supporters sprung into action throwing paint on the pyramid as well. Police were quick to arrest the demonstrators.

CLPress has a 20 minute video of the action

   Last Renovation is part of the global A22 Network for Civil Resistance.

“What are our responsibilities at this time? Because of the fossil fuel industry, we are facing horrors of a magnitude never before experienced in our existence. Our government continues to lead us to the edge of no return. We must stand up and defend ourselves. No one else is going to do it. It must be us, if we want to live.
Our methods must be disruptive, and they must be nonviolent. Our actions are evidence-based, credible, and we have a plan. The only thing missing at this point in time is YOU!”
