It's an unfortunate compromise, but how do you propose moving the kind of kit we need to make the camp happen if not with privately owned motor vehicles used as minimally as possible?

Ignore Tam - we're all hypocrites sometimes

Its like people (often media) point at out G8 gatherings etc - why are they sleeping in corporate made tents/wearing corporate made hiking boots etc. The answer is simple - we live in a capitalist society. We are trying to suggest solutions, and we also try and provide practical examples of our beliefs as often as we can - but completley avioding the corporate system, as i very much doubt tam does just sets us up for a fall and makes us 100% inacessible to the general public. Heres my ethical/unethical roster
ethical
*grow 75% of veg i eat
*Shop from a small vegan co-operative
*dont drive
*dont take short haul flights
*vegan
*try to buy local products
*freegan/skip dive
*compost
*reuse/recycle
unethical
*will buy from supermarkets when skint
*will bum lifts of car driving friends
*wont rule out the possibility of taking very occasional long haul flights in the future
*i like mangoes- hence buy small amounts from overseas
* I use gas and electric
Does the last list make me a bad person? I like to openley admit to all of the 'unethical' things i do - im not perfect, nor is anyone living under the constraints of this system, and most people who do profess to be perfect are more often than not, frankly, sanctimonious, self important dicks. The best most of us can do is not 'enough'. but we need to work on providing examples of what our world could look like. The more people we convince to lead as ethical a life as possible, the more easy it will become for everyone to be more ethical/sustianable. So, those of you that cant stand proudly atop your pedastals, lording your ethical perfection over the plebs (and i say with no shame that i am one of you), please do come to climate camp, get involved, do all that we can ask of ourselves i.e our best, and dont be put off or let your stay at the camp be ruined by people with the luxury of large wads of time and money who expect you to live up to their unatainably 'high' standards.
See you all at camp!
