Next weekend Nottingham will host a national gathering of the Camp for Climate Action, a movement for a sustainable future beyond fossil fuel capitalism. The camp aims to incorporate constructive practical solutions with education and serious direct action to reduce carbon dioxide emissions.
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.
