BRACE! BRACE! BRACE! - Time for BAA to fasten its seatbelts...
30-09-2006 17:05
"There's turbulence ahead for the British Airports Authority", was the message from protesters gathering for an introduction to direct action today.Years of letter writing and lobbying of MPs may have kept the deceitful, climate-wrecking actions of the air industry in the public eye, but the cosy relationship between BAA and the DoT means they get to do what they want anyway. That's ever more short haul flights, no tax on fuel, and new runways, terminals and access roads.

27-09-2006 15:48
A local anti-climate change group in Wantage, Oxfordshire, is organising a big concert for climate action on the 2nd of December. It takes place in a tried and tested venue and is set to pull in hundreds of locals. The group aims to inspire them with our message about the need to tackle climate change. But we need support!Stop the Northern Coastal Reclamation Project in Indonesia!
27-09-2006 14:17
This is an urgent appeal from eco-activists in Indonesia. This appeal is about an environmentaly destructive development called 'Northern Coastal Reclamation Project'. Our campaign strategy will be to push the Dutch reclamation consultant to resign from this corporate-greed project, therefore we need solidarity from dutch activists (and also from all people everywhere else of course!)The name of the consultant company is WitteveenBos.
http://www.witteveenbos.co.id/ -- It is the only consultant in Indonesian for this kind of project. The plan is threatening the lives of many poor people, and will wreck an ecologically sensitive area.
