Activists in three cities in the district took part in the global climate strike on Friday.
District - In Germering around 100 participants formed a human chain at lunchtime from Landsberger Straße to the station underpass - with a safe distance and mask.
Pastor Michael Lorenz from the Protestant Dietrich Bonhoeffer Church as the organizer attached great importance to this.
"But the issues of corona and climate protection should not be played off against each other," he emphasized.
The band Sambavaria set the mood with their drums.
There were few posters to be seen, probably because of the rainy weather.

In Fürstenfeldbruck, the local group of Fridays for Future had actually planned the first local climate demo for March 13th. At that time it was canceled at short notice due to the corona. At the second attempt, the weather created unfavorable conditions. But despite the rain, around 150 demonstrators gathered in the afternoon on the closed B2 near the tax office. After a kick-off rally with several speeches on, for example, meat consumption and the economy of the common good, the march set off in the pouring rain towards the city center at around 4.45 p.m. The organizers had set up a stage for the final rally on the Volksfestplatz. The topic of the demo was also the planned clearing in the Rothschwaiger Forest for gravel mining. In the late afternoon, a climate vigil at the train station in Puchheim concluded the climate strike events in the district.
