The gathering will comprise open discussions about the shape of an event which will take place in the coming summer, following three 'key' days of national action this spring:
- Fossil Fool's Day will take to task the most irresponsible of our behaviour of continuing to burn finite resources and cause climate change: “from coal-mining clowns to carbon-offsetting contortionists, we are going to turn the tables and show them who the real fools are” - April 1st
- Actions against capitalism's profit-driven greenwashing and risky gambles on technology are called for, because they are false solutions to Climate Change – May 1st
- A day of action on Food & Climate Change will promote locally and sustainably produced organic food, because diet has a great impact on environment. Plant-based (pure vegetarian diets) reduce our personal footprints by about 1.5 tonnes CO2 per year - June 3rd
If you can and would like to, please contribute to the running of this gathering. This means giving your time for tasks such as: cleaning meeting areas and facilities, help cooking and catering, and volunteering behind a bar. Contact: 0845 458 9595.
