Tell E.ON to f off! - Protest

Climate Camper | 24.11.2008 13:31 | Climate Chaos | Ecology | Energy Crisis

As part of 48 hours of nationwide action against E.ON, called for by the Camp for Climate Action, Rising Tide, Plane Stupid and Campaign against Climate Change, Nottingham students are calling a demonstration outside E.ON's city centre offices (Mount St, NG1 6PG).

No New Coal!
No New Coal!


Meet at 11.45 in front of the the town hall in Market Square on Friday 27th Nov. We'll then move over to the offices at 12pm to flyer and protest about E.ON's plans to build a new coal fired power station at Kingsnorth in Kent, a venture that will wreck any serious plans to cut carbon emissions and protect the planet and its' population from the most disastrous effects of climate change.


Why target EON and Kingsnorth?

The proposed power station will emit between 6 and 8 million tons of CO2 every year, and is just the first in a plan to build up to seven new coal fired power stations. This will wreck the UK's chances of meeting its own target of an 80% reduction in carbon emissions by 2050.

Climate change isn't about warmer summers in Blighty. It's about serious changes that will cost millions of people (particularly those that are the worst off and living precariously) their livelihoods and lives. If we can stop E.ON, other companies will be discouraged from risking similar plans, and we will send the strong message that the energy crisis needs to be tackled positively, implementing the solutions that will get us off fossil fuels.

If you're in need of some motivation, watch this short animation 'Wake Up, Freak Out – then Get a Grip'. Very well made and stunningly lucid.  http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=5T_3WJPYY9g


Everyone welcome, spread the word! Bring banners, costumes, instruments and a sense of injustice; help us tell EON to f off!

Why not just stay at the ice rink - after all it is sponsored by E-On?

I know they sponsored last year, but I didn't think they were sponsoring this year? If so, would be a great target!

The article says Friday 27th?? Presumably it means Friday the 28th, or should it read Thursday 27th. I'm confused.
