*Fossil Fools Parade, Manchester*
Meet 10.30 AM outside AMC cinema in Deansgate
The Climate Circus is coming to Manchester. Take part in fun and games with some of our best known local Fossil Fools! That's right, this event is all about congratulating our sponsors, RBS, Manchester Flight Centres, Petrol Stations, The City Council and other, experts in pollution, climate change and destruction of our global eco systems. The parade will finish with a street party outside the Town Hall (by 12 pm).
Featuring music, madness and vegan cakes - lets make this a holiday at home and encourage people to leave fossil fuels in the past. Dress in suits, as clowns, come as a fossil fuel or a fossil fool but come!!
*Funeral for coal in Parliament square, London*
Meet at 11 AM in Parliament Square
The People & Planet network invites you to join us at an action and mass lobby. We will be building a coal power station complete with 12ft cooling towers in Westminster, while people dressed in Jesters hats and Gordon Brown masks will ‘burn’ a mock Climate Change Bill.
Contact james.lloyd@peopleandplanet.org for more information.

*Protest circus for a coal Fossil Fool, London*
Meet 8 AM at 1 Victoria Street (nearest tube: St. James’s Park)
The London World Development Movement groups are co-ordinating a hilarious protest outside the Department for Enterprise Business and Regulatory Reform (or BERR) to laugh at the minister for business, John Hutton. John Hutton is currently set to make a right fool of the government's climate policy if he signs off on EON's new Kingsnorth power station. Everyone's welcome to join in the collective hilarity and to demand Hutton takes the Kingsnorth decision very seriously. There will be a real circus feel, with jugglers, clowns and acrobats, so don't hesitate to bring juggling balls or wear your squeaky nose or silly hat.
Protest starts at 8am and will be over in time for you to be at work.
