Campaign against Climate Change

NO NEW COAL

March from Rochester to Kingsnorth

Sunday 3rd August

The opening day of the Camp for Climate Action.

http://www.campaigncc.org/kingsnorth.shtml

Assemble 12 noon at Rochester Station.

Trains take 40 to 70 minutes from Victoria or Charing Cross and there are several per hour. See http://nationalrail.co.uk

We will march together with the Camp for Climate Action “Caravan” on its last day before it reaches the ‘Climate Camp’ itself  - but this will be a legal, organised march.

You can (1) march all the way (seven miles),  (2) just attend a brief rally and march a mile or so through Rochester, or (3) just do the first and last parts of the march (get a bus from Strood and join us again at Hoo for the final mile or so to Kingsnorth). You can go with the caravan to check out the Climate Camp on its first day.

 

A new wave of coal-fired power stations will be a disaster for any meaningful attempt to avert catastrophic climate change. Come and lend some support to the movement that is building against it !

Invitation to the Camp for Climate Action at Kingsnorth Power Station

August 3-11 2008Low-impact living // education // high-impact direct actionThis summer the Camp for Climate Action will pitch its tents outside Kingsnorth coal-fired power station in Kent for a week of education, sustainable living and direct action. Everyone is invited to the camp, which is now part of an international movement, with eight climate camps on four continents planned for this summer. Together, we will show that the blind pursuit of economic growth at any cost is simply insane, and is to blame for the CO² emissions and ecosystem destruction that are causing catastrophic climate change.

Day of Action Against Agrofuels

Wednesday 6th August. Meet at the Eros Piccadilly Circus 12.30 pm  for a walking tour of the key agrofuel corporate allies.'Since when was deforestation a green solution? Don't be fooled by Agrofoools' During this year's Climate Camp, situated near Kingsnorth power station, we will take decentralized, creative direct action against all aspects of the agrofuel industry.List of agrofuel related companies, corporations and their close friends in the south-east of EnglandTo protect our climate and our future, help to stop the agrofuel industry now. The governments of the UK and EU are promoting agrofuels - vast crop monocultures to grow fuel for cars. This is one of the quickest ways of heating the planet. Millions of hectares of precious climate-stabilising ecosystems are being chopped down to make way for crop monocultures for fuel to feed our cars. Industrial agriculture is a major cause of deforestation and climate change, as confirmed by UN reports. There can be no stable climate without forests and other ecosystems!
