2011 Camp for climate action to be powered by new alternative
Climate Camper | 12.11.2010 10:43 | Climate Chaos
Energy for next year's Camp for Climate Action will be provided by a troupe of electromagnetic circus performers.
Campers will be able to live in a series of pens with vegan food being pumped into troughs from a nearby catering van run by a member of the catering team rather than waiting at the food tent.
Small magnets will be attached to their flailing arms which, in just six hours, will generate enough power for one face painter to boil the water needed to produce one cup of tea that is made from grass.
Meanwhile the falafel-induced flatulence will be piped back into the catering van and used to cook more falafel in a repellent, malodorous circle of life.
Camp organiser Michael Ealso hopes to one day be able to generate energy from the overwhelming sense of anger and disappointment experienced by camp goers over the age of 35.
He said: "By the end of the weekend the air is positively crackling with it.
"All these solicitors and marketing executives who thought they were in for a few days of crazy freedom but end up being covered in their own mess and filled with hate towards everyone within a five mile radius."
After the camp all the jugglers, unicyclists and mimes will be recycled as fertiliser, although he warned it could make the resultant crops taste a bit like grimy tosspot.
He added: "Becoming carbon neutral is what we're all about and I hope the 1500 people from around the world that travel here by plane, car and decrepit camper van will appreciate all those middle class students who made the effort to get here by helicopter."
