Fancy a bit of co-mutiny community gardening this sunday? Down in deepest darkest Whitechapel (east London), an amazing thing is starting to happen. A formerly disused and abused piece of land has been reclaimed and is starting to be turned into a garden, with the aim of having a place where people can interact with, take care of and just gain a greater understanding and respect for nature.

Photos - Oil Spill to save wildlife ?

Shortly after midday on Saturday the 3rd Feb, environmental activists defaced a Shell Oil sponsored photo exhibition and called on the Natural History Museum to drop it's greenwashing deal with the oil giant.

While a banner was dropped in the main hall and 600 leaflets handed out to members of the public, an oil like substance was sprayed over the wildlife photos in the Shell sponsored exhibition. There were a large number of security personnel present and some of the protesters were assaulted by panicking museum staff and members of the public but there were no arrests.

The action follows the publication of Shell's 2006 record breaking financial figures and the release of the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change fourth report which yet again suggests that climate change is happening faster then previously predicted.
