Climate Camp



Climate Camp was a fantastically inspiring experience. It was such a wonderful collection of people, working in effective and empowering ways to build an alternative, sustainable future. The people were mostly young (but including a good scattering of oldies like me), and, in just a few days, despite extraordinary pressure from the police, built a wonderful, comfortable, efficient community in a field in Kent.
Really effective actions were launched, lots of hearts and minds of local people were won over, powerful ideas were shared and developed, in a hotbed of discussion, there was superb music and laughter, and the outrageous attempts by the police to disrupt the camp were resisted.

The climate camp web site is great. The collection of photos, and the TV footage there tell the story well.

And check out Radio Revolucion – what a band!
