Two actions in two days - good going!
Unfortunately both actions are using the same headlines so there seems to be some confusion! Check out the "other" one a couple of headlines down on the newswire.

The 25th

wow yeah two (!) great actions...does this signal a resurgence for the ecological resistance?

BUT this image is unnacceptably big. not only would it take years to download if i didn't have a huge connection but you have to scroll around to actually see whats going on. try resizing using something like adobe photoshop (ahem, i mean gimp  http://www.gimp.org/ for a free and ethical alternative).

if any imc tech-heads see this pleeeeease can they resize it?

sprightly
