Autonomous Pixie Action in Solidarity with Mainshill

Anon | 11.12.2009 02:14 | COP15 Climate Summit 2009 | Climate Chaos | Ecology

In the early hours of Monday the 7th of December a drilling rig and other machinery was sabotaged at Mainshill Solidarity Camp. This action was taken by a group of autonomous people in solidarity with all those who oppose the development of Mainshill Wood into an open cast coal mine.

Actions such as these are not mindless acts of vandalism, but valid responses to corporations like Scottish Coal and their blatant disregard for life and communities of people everywhere. Such acts damage the rich and wealthy in the only place that matters to them – their wallets. As life on earth is threatened in every direct by the blind pursuit of profit, we look not to politicians in Copenhagen for indecision, but take matters into our own hands.

Burning coal undermines the very ability of human beings to live on a healthy vibrant planet, a right our ancestors enjoyed and our children should inherit. Yet the climate is changing, the oceans are acidifying, and hundreds of species go extinct every single day because of the greed of a few. Let's not stand idly by and watch while so much beauty is plundered and destroyed!

There is no time to act but now. Come to Mainshill Solidarity Camp and send your own message to Copenhagen!

Addition: The drilling rig in question didn't work for three days.
