The plan is to give Co2 a price and make countries in the EU shift part of the fiscal burden that's currently set on citizen's labour to Co2 emissions. Marco Cappato, a former member of European Parliament and long time activist has organized a European Citizens' Initiative to land the proposal in front of the European Commission.

A Concert for No One
In the midst of the Coronavirus epidemic we followed Chris, a homeless guy living in Milan (Italy) as he performed a "concert for no one" around the deserted city as everyone stayed at home to avoid spreading Coronavirus. Chris came to Italy from Nigeria three years ago and has been living in the streets of Milan for one year. With the only money he had he decided to purchase a guitar and learn how to play it; this has been his life mission ever since.
