Climate march Sat Dec 6
This year a group of us are getting together from Woking, Guildford and surrounding areas to attend this march. It has been running for a number of years and has been well attended even in torrential rain!
The atmosphere is great fun!
Will you join us and make this the most effective awareness raising event yet?
This march is part of a worldwide series of actions to raise awareness on climate change, and ask governments to step up action. In over 80 countries there will be similar events to mark the UN Climate Talks in Poznan, Poland.
Smaller groups in other countries rely on us to support them in their smaller awareness raising actions. Lets show them that we are behind their drives to get their own governments on board.
We will be meeting up at 11.15 on Sat Dec 6, under the clock at Waterloo station. Bring lunch, drinks, warm/waterproof clothing, sensible footwear and a carnival mood.
If you would like to dress up to represent any of the four themes below, please do: get your inventive thinking hats on:
1) NO to a 3rd runway at Heathrow and the runaway expansion in aviation expansion.
2) NO new coal - no new coal-fired power stations as planned at eg Kingsnorth in Kent
3) NO to the expansion of agrofuels - with negative impacts on forests, the climate and world food supply.
4) YES to a renewable energy revolution and green jobs
Suns, windmills, renewable energy boiler suits etc, come to mind.
Hopefully the dragon from the climate camp march at Kingsnorth will be there, manned by 20 odd people, and musicians, brass bands etc.
If you know of anyone in a drama or art group who would like to be involved, get them on board now!
Please invite anyone you think would be interested to come with you, even if they are not that local.
