I'm not going to post an update every time a (small) milestone is reached, but i felt this time it was warranted.

Sweden and Poland both passed their respective thresholds. That brings us to 3 out of 7 countries where we need to pass the threshold. We are also past 25% of the one million signatures needed continent-wide.

Thank you to everyone who already signed.

Thursday is a reminder that the weekend is just around the corner. Time to compare beer prices in Europe!

Who would you like to drink your next beer with? And where?

The beer prices shown here refer to local draught 0.5 litre beer in a restaurant.

Today I got gifted four cans of Tyskie directly chilled from Poland. Its one of my Favuorites - but you still don't have Pfand.

You guys should step up and demand it immediately. Ecologically we admire + require you but still you don't require returing back aluminium cans. Nor plastic/etc. bottles. And I am assuming neither at glass bottles.

You guys should go onto the streets for 100% compatibility with your silenced Neighbours. Lets strenghten our civilian bonds <3.

Its like the requirement of catalyst after 1999. The snow at last was white(ish) again.
