Stop Shell's pipeline to disaster
In Rossport, County Mayo, Shell have just been given planning approval to lay the final section of the high pressure Corrib gas pipeline, ignoring massive local opposition.
Join us taking action against Shell in Bristol. We aim to bring attention to Shell's destructive activities worldwide, so wear bright clothes, bring banners and flags and bikes. Meet Bristol city centre opposite the Hippodrome midday Sat 12th Febuary.
The planned pipeline would run close to people's homes, up the centre of the beautiful Sruwaddacon estuary, (a Special protected area and a Special area of conservation) and over an unstable peat bog. Due to courageous resistance by the local community the project has so far been delayed for a decade and is 3 times over budget - impressive for a rural community fighting one of the biggest multi-nationals in the world.
Throughout, the Irish government has colluded with and supported Shell while ignoring the interests of its own people. The project as it stands will endanger their health, livelihoods and local environment. At a global scale it will also contribute to climate chaos, all for the profit of Shell.
This is just one example of Shell's operations destroying communities and wreckng the environment: from oil extraction in the Niger delta to the tar sands in Alberta, Canada. People all over the world are resisting by defending their communities and environment against Shell. This is your chance to show solidarity with them and persuade the people of Bristol to boycott Shell.
