Two Weeks to go till the Camp for Climate Action in Scotland 3-10 August 2009
Climate Camp Scotland | 19.07.2009 18:08 | Climate Chaos | Ecology | Social Struggles
Join us for a week of low-impact living and high-impact direct action in the Firth of Forth. There's just two weeks till the first of the summer climate camps begins. From the 3rd to the 10th Bring yourself and your friends to put a stop to the root causes of climate change and ecological collapse. Together we will take action to shut down polluting industry, while living sustainably in a horizontally organised camp.
What's happening:
We're going to set up camp somewhere around the Firth of Forth, a part of the central belt of Scotland littered with power stations, corporate HQs, gas and oil refineries, open cast coal mines, a nuclear power station and a cement factory. The camp will provide a base for people to meet, train and take action in order to hold the people and systems responsible for climate change and ecocide to account.
The camp will focus on helping groups of people to take action against a whole range of targets. If you're coming with a group of friends that's great – we'll help you choose targets and actions, and if you're coming alone there will be plenty of opportunity to meet other people and work out a plan.
The camp will be horizontally organising, and be as ecological as possible so expect compost toilets, grey water systems and micro-renewable energy. There will be kitchens to make vegan food, and there will be workshops, skill shares, and more.
Bring what you want to see, if you want to put on anything at the camp let us know, and we'll try and support you with any materials or info that you need.
How to get there:
The location of the site will be announced just before the start of the camp – check the website (climatecampscotland.org.uk) or phone the info number which will be available shortly before the 3rd for directions to the camp.
If you're coming by public transport get yourself to Edinburgh Waverley or Glasgow Central train stations and be prepared to travel – info-points will tell you the train station to get to and how to get there. There will be shuttle buses from the nearest train station to the camp.
What to bring:
A tent, sleeping bag and carry mat and anything else you'd take camping. Be prepared for rain and sun. But most importantly, bring all of your friends!
What not to bring:
Pen-knives – the cops love using them as an excuse to harass us so let's not let them.
Anything you don't want found on you if searched.
