Hi folks - hope you don't mind using this list for a direct action thing that's not

	Come to Climate Camp!  
	 
	Sheffield meeting to help mobilise this wednesday 9th July, 7.30 in the Red Lion, just up from the Hubs. Email climatecamp2008 at yahoo.co.uk if you want to be kept informed of future meetings
	 
	 
	We have arranged a bus to help get people to climate camp. As well as making travelling easy, its also nice for people who are going alone to meet people on the way. We are sharing the coach with Leeds folk.
	
	Our bus to the camp is on Sunday 3rd, departing sheffield at 11.30. Our
	bus home again is on Sunday 10th, departs 3pm from the camp and we hope
	to have it arrive at around 8.30opm traffic permitting.
	
	We are selling tickets for £15 single waged and £10 single unwaged. Please book your ticket as soon as possible, as we need to know numbers. Email climatecamp2008 at yahoo.co.uk and let us know if you want to come.
	
	If the importance of Climate Camp hasn't struck home yet, read on! Please forward this to any groups or individuals who might be interested.
	
	
	
	
	
	The Camp for Climate Action, at Kingsnorth, Kent, 3rd to 11th August
	
	
	
	
	The world is changing.
	
	
	Food riots abroad, house prices and pensions collapsing at home, energy prices skyrocketing worldwide. And slap bang in the middle of all of this - climate change - which the government and the power giant E.ON propose to make worse by building the UK's first coal-fired power station in 30 years at Kingsnorth in Kent.
	
	
	Suddenly, the future we all thought we could count on seems very unlikely. Yes, the world is complex, but one thing is clear: the economy isn't working for the benefit of most of us. It's seemingly endless growth hasn't brought happiness. Indeed, through carbon emissions, it has brought us to the edge. We need to change course.
	
	
	Do you think Brown or Cameron will put us on a radically different path? No, we don't either. So we're working on alternatives by working together collectively. When large numbers of determined and well-organised people get together they can turn things around, making a historic difference.
	
	
	The climate camp aims to do just that. Whether it's participating in the collective organisation of the camp, taking part in workshops, program now available or taking direct action to tackle dangerous developments like new coal-fired power stations; being at the camp is about people getting together to respond positively to the climate crisis.
	
	
	There is only one thing that can stop Kingsnorth and override the profit motive driving it; a mass movement. We intend to start one and we want you to be part of it.
	
	
	Everything you need to know to come and be part of the Camp is on the website. www.climatecamp.org.uk
	
	
	See you there.
