Hi everyone, there is a public action against new open cast coal mining coming up. The people organising it are a new group and a hoping for lots of people to come, to start building a strong resistance against the massive new coal mining plans in the UK and elsewhere. It'll be a fun day and a great start to the campaign.<br>
<br>
<br>
Leave it in the Ground!<br>
open-cast coal mass trespass and picnic<br>
Meet noon, 26th May, Derbyshire<br>
<br>
A new open-cast coal mine site is about to get underway in beautiful<br>
Derbyshire, unless we stop it now. Lodge House site is one of seven that<br>
UK Coal is to open-cast. The 122 hectare site will have one million tonnes<br>
of coal ripped out over five years by UK Coal.<br>
This is madness in the face of climate change and it is also criminal vandalism of nature. So lets stop it!<br>
<br>
To combat open-cast coal mining at this and other new mines, a new action group 'Leave it in the Ground'; has formed, supported by Earth First! with an invite to a Picnic in the Park on 26th May for a mass trespass to see it before the destruction starts, meet the locals and have fun. So come and Discover Derbyshire!<br>
Meet at the Visitors Centre, Shipley Country Park, Slack Lane, Heanor DE75<br>
7GX at 12 noon on the 26th May.<br>
<br>
Bring banners, music, food and sturdy footwear.<br>
<br>
