Earth First! is not an organisation or a campaign but a convenient
banner for those who share similar ideas to act under. The general
principles behind the name are non-hierarchical organisation and the use
of direct action to confront, stop and eventually reverse the forces that
are responsible for the destruction of the Earth and its inhabitants.

At a rapid speed the earth is being torn about by human greed. Where
there was once wild untamed woodlands there are now mining machines. Where
there was once clean water with fish running freely through, there are now
damns and the waste products of civilization. Where once non-human animals
roamed in vast numbers, there are now sprawling suburbs, motorways and
airport expansions. Where once there was clean air, there is now smog,
smoke and poisons.

Want to do something to stop the planet getting trashed?

So do we.

Lets find each other.

That’s what the Earth First Summer Gathering if for. Finding one another,
learning from one another. Coming together and making plans to stop the
total destruction of this planet.

Earth First! Summer Gathering, 10th-16th of August 2011
