Invitation to the Camp for Climate Action at Kingsnorth Power Station
August 3-11 2008
Day of Mass Action at Kingsnorth: Saturday August 9th, 2008

Low-impact living // education // high-impact direct action
This summer the Camp for Climate Action will pitch its tents outside Kingsnorth coal-fired power station in Kent for a week of education, sustainable living and direct action. Everyone is invited to the camp, which is now part of an international movement, with eight climate camps on four continents planned for this summer. Together, we will show that the blind pursuit of economic growth at any cost is simply insane, and is to blame for the CO² emissions and ecosystem destruction that are causing catastrophic climate change.
Get out the diary, here's the plan:

Climate Camp 2007 - Heathrow One Line Exhibition Pictures From The Camp
The science is clear: global emissions of carbon dioxide must go into rapid decline within the next decade. If they don't, humanity faces a bleak future. To achieve this in a way that respects global justice means 90 percent cuts in developed countries like the UK. How will we cut emissions and end inequality? How will we achieve this in the face of an economic system intent on expanding at any cost, with corporations stealing the language of change to disguise business as usual? Ordinary people will have to join together to create real solutions and take direct action against the root causes of the problem.
About the actions that happened
Last years Camp for Climate Action was at Heathrow. It was eight days of low-impact living, debates, learning skills, and high-impact direct action tackling the root causes of climate change. Heathrow is the world's busiest airport and a bigger source of CO2 emissions than most countries. It's sheer lunacy in this time of ecological crisis, but the aviation industry are pushing to almost double the airport's capacity by increasing flights and building a third runway. The battle to stop them will be one of the most important environmental battles in Western Europe.
