Ecodesign Action (Brussel, 12 maart 2009)

Climate campaigners dressed as pinguins set up a " penguin refugee camp" made of refrigerators in front of the Berlaymont building. Environmental organisations are urging Europe not to agree weak energy efficiency measures and confusing changes to energy labels for key appliances. An Avaaz petition signed by over 116,000 citizens across Europe was delivered to a representative of the European Commission. Photography by Lode Saidani
