Another End of the World is Possible

From John Jordan

“To celebrate the announcement of the location for this summer’s
CAMP FOR CLIMATE ACTION” – Heathrow Airport August 14-21, 2007

Eight days of low-impact living, debates, learning skills, and high-impact direct action tackling the root causes of climate change.

In 2006, over 600 people converged on a field in Yorkshire for 10 days, and held over 100 workshops, ranging from alternative technology to the Kyoto Protocol to non-violent direct action training. They made decisions collectively, without ‘leaders’, and produced their own energy using solar panels, biodiesel, and a wind turbine. Many of them used the camp as a base for non-violent direct action against industrial polluters such as Drax, the largest coal-fired power station in the UK.

The 2007 Camp for Climate Action will be even better! Everyone is welcome to get involved. If you have any questions, email info [at] climatecamp.org.uk
