The Campaign Against Primate Change

09.12.2007 12:18


The human environment has evolved far too much. Primates have changed.

But, we'll keep on driving around in our stupid cars, keep on eating and drinking from moulded plastic vessels, and keep on running around in just our underwear with the thermostat turned up high in mid-winter - until we can no longer, no more.
We will only stop using it when it ain't there.

As Primate Change activists, we are of the realisation that only when Oil is recognised for the finite resource it is (and finally becomes too expensive for the economic artifice to continue functioning) only then will we see the kind of societal-shift necessary for change to begin... something that some of us have been waiting a long time for.

In the meantime, our advice is that you ensure that your christmas illuminations are solar powered, and hold onto your hats as the Black Gold runs out and latter day capitalism goes into meltdown.

So where do you stand when the night of unrest becomes a reality? Upon the former landfill of Darnall (Tinsley Golf Course Sheffield), and if we can not get there, then Redmires.
