Climate Camp happened and it was great

16-05-2011 07:27

Climate Camp has traditionally offered three things – it showcases sustainable living, it offers a programme of radical education and throughout there is a commitment to undertaking effective non-violent direct action.

Some of the original road protesters from the 1990s have already moved into Hounslow near Heathrow Airport in preparation for working with local residents to help them transform their derelict run-down Dickensian neighbourhood into the world's first fully sustainable eco-town as the earth faces unprecedented ecological cataclysm.

Evo Morales plans to destroy rainforest and indian homelands for a highway

28-04-2011 20:43

In their pursuit of development and industriali$ation, Morales and the MAS government of Bolivia are trampling indigenous communities and the environment. There is a widening gap between their rhetoric and their actions.
This road would mean death for the indigenous communities there, as the area is opened up to exploitation for oil, timber and cocaine. The indigenous representatives of the area have made a unanimous decision to reject any road that passes through their land. They have a legal right to consultation. This consultation has never happened.
