Prior to the National Camp for Climate Action meeting in Leeds on 13th - 14th January, come and join in an open discussion about Climate Camp 2007 and how people feel about organising a brum neighbourhood at this years camp. Everyone is welcome to come along, whether you have been involved with the Climate Camp before or not.
This call out is for anyone interested in sharing information and ideas on Climate Camp and how they would like to get involved. The meet up is planned on Tuesday 9th January from 8 p.m. in the Anchor pub, Digbeth (at the back of the coach station) in the small no smoking room.
Its more than just about organising the Camp; its about inspiring support networks to develop so that we can help each other to understand and combat the causes of climate change in our local areas.

“Packed with workshops and debates, the camp was a space to pool knowledge, ideas and inspiration to tackle the greatest threat to life on Earth. Under the shadow of 12 huge cooling towers we converged to take action on the biggest CO2 emitter in northern Europe: Drax power station.”
“The Climate Camp was about squaring up to climate criminals, and on Thursday 31st August hundreds of people converged to take action on Drax. From a colourful kids demo blocking the main gates, to small teams of people locking themselves to machinery inside the fence, the intent was clear. Drax must shut now! For one day this was not business as usual. It is time to push aside the big money makers of the world and make space for a future where the needs of people and the planet come first.”
“A future where we take collective responsibility for the effect we have on the environment. The Camp was a space to start living in sustainable ways. From a bicycle library to solar energy and locally-sourced food, the carbon footprint of the camp was minimal. It was organised through 'neighbourhood assemblies' (directly democratic systems to ensure that everyone's voice was heard equally), and decisions were taken by consensus” http://www.climatecamp.org.uk/
