COME TO THE FETE THAT COULD SAVE THE CLIMATE
We’ve made some progress on the coal campaign in the last few weeks with Climate and Energy Minister Ed Miliband finally ruling out any new coal-fired power stations that don’t capture a proportion of the carbon they emit. But that’s not nearly enough to save the climate.
The next few months will be crucial in persuading Ed to go all the way before the government announces a decision on new coal fired power plants. We need your help to show Ed and the government that opposition to new dirty coal is growing across the country. We would like to invite you to join thousands of people on July 4th to form a human band around Kingsnorth power station in Kent – the proposed site of the first new coal-fired power plant in Britain for 30 years.
The event is being organised by Oxfam and includes a diverse range of communities and organisations such as Christian Aid, People and Planet, the Women’s Institute, the World Development Movement, National Union of Students, Woodcraft Folk, RSPB and us! We’re calling the event the ‘Mili-Band’ in Ed’s honour.
