Hi everyone, sorry for mass mailings but I'd like to let you know the latest infomation about the Camp for Climate Action at Kingsnorth in Kent which begins in a few days:

Come for as long or as little as you like, but if possible make sure to be there on Saturday 9th, for an inspiring day of mass action (see:
http://www.climatecamp.org.uk/massaction). The camp is easily accessible; the nearest train station is only 50 minutes
from Central London. Tent space will be available for those arriving the night before the day of action.

This is probably the best opportunity we have to really kick-start a huge social movement in this country capable of
avoiding casatrophic climate change. It may also be the most amazing and inspirational week of your life. We need you
there!

WORKSHOP PROGRAMME
http://www.climatecamp.org.uk/workshops

This year's workshop timetable is the best ever with over 200 workshops covering everything from climate science to vegan cake baking through to the role of banks in the fossil fuel economy and how to plan successful direct action. With
speakers including George Monbiot, Caroline Lucas MEP, this timetable is probably the biggest and most comprehensive
Climate Change workshops programme we've assembled! Best of all, the programme is highly participatory with each session leaving plenty of time for debate not just passive listening. With windmills powering our laptops and ecological systems to clean our dirty dish water there will also be plenty of opportunities to learn hands on skills too.

HOW TO GET THERE?

Easy. Jump on a train at either Charing Cross or Victoria and under an hour
later arrive at Strood. We will be running shuttle buses from Strood to the
camp (a few miles). See the latest travel updates at

WHAT TO BRING?

Your friends, a tent, basic camping equipment, and a sense of adventure. All
food is provided on camp and is very healthy and tasty so please don't bring
cooking equipment. But do bring a mug, plate and cutlery, and insect
repellent if you plan to go near the estuary! Other useful things are a
small radio so you can listen to the climate camps radio station and catch
up with all the camp news!
