Climate Siren activists scale Palace gates Rio+20

Four mem­bers of the group Cli­mate Siren, which includ­ed Occu­py Lon­don sup­port­ers, chained them­selves to Buck­ing­ham Palace gates on Sat­ur­day 23 June to high­light the biggest threat to our plan­et, cli­mate change. The activists were there for over 4 hours and the stunt attract­ed nation­al and inter­na­tion­al media atten­tion.

Four mem­bers of the group Cli­mate Siren, which includ­ed Occu­py Lon­don sup­port­ers, chained them­selves to Buck­ing­ham Palace gates on Sat­ur­day 23 June to high­light the biggest threat to our plan­et, cli­mate change. The activists were there for over 4 hours and the stunt attract­ed nation­al and inter­na­tion­al media atten­tion. Their ban­ners includ­ed a quote from Prince Charles that the ‘dooms­day clock of cli­mate change was tick­ing ever faster towards mid­night,’ and called for 10% annu­al emis­sions reduc­tions.

The action was timed to coin­cide with the end of the Rio+20 Earth Sum­mit on Sus­tain­able Devel­op­ment, which as pre­dict­ed failed to deliv­er any bind­ing agree­ment to put human­i­ty on a path of true sus­tain­abil­i­ty and peace. Unfor­tu­nate­ly, we can­not rely on our elect­ed offi­cials to save the plan­et and the Rio +20 agen­da was dom­i­nat­ed by cor­po­rate inter­ests bent on pre­vent­ing any devi­a­tion from busi­ness as usu­al which will threat­en their prof­its. Peo­ple pow­er is our only hope for sav­ing the plan­et and all its inhab­i­tants.

Frack Off: Activists Blockade Fracking Drill

Update: it has now end­ed — a suc­cess­ful 7 hour occu­pa­tion on the gates and no arrests

18.6.2012

Update: it has now end­ed — a suc­cess­ful 7 hour occu­pa­tion on the gates and no arrests

18.6.2012

Anti-frack­ing group, Frack Off, is blockad­ing the site of Cuadrilla Resource’s drilling rig. Twen­ty peo­ple descend­ed on the site at 5am and are blockad­ing the entrance. The site is owned by PR Mar­riot who is Cuadrilla’s lead drilling con­trac­tors.

The action is stop­ping work on the drill which is being worked on in prepa­ra­tion for more frack­ing explo­ration in Lan­cashire. Frack Off is high­light­ing the threat posed by the tidal wave of extreme ener­gy extrac­tion meth­ods that are being pushed by the gov­ern­ment and a num­ber of most­ly US and Aus­tralian com­pa­nies. The action is the begin­ning of a con­cert­ed cam­paign by peo­ple across the coun­try to stop the intro­duc­tion of these dan­ger­ous prac­tices before it is too late.

Despite the mount­ing evi­dence from the Unit­ed States that the exploita­tion of uncon­ven­tion­al fos­sil fuels such as shale gas and coal bed methane (CBM) threat­ens to poi­son the envi­ron­ment, fur­ther desta­bilise the cli­mate and is impli­cat­ed in ris­ing toll on human health includ­ing increas­ing can­cer rates, cor­po­ra­tions and gov­ern­ments are doing all they can to push through the intro­duc­tion of these new ener­gy extrac­tion meth­ods in the face of grow­ing pub­lic oppo­si­tion.

Last month the Ener­gy and Cli­mate Change Min­is­ter Gre­go­ry Bark­er announced in par­lia­ment that the “Gov­ern­ment will con­tin­ue to seek full eco­nom­ic recov­ery of UK hydro­car­bon resources, both con­ven­tion­al and uncon­ven­tion­al”, a posi­tion which amounts to a dec­la­ra­tion of war on the peo­ple and envi­ron­ment of the British Isles. Full eco­nom­ic recov­ery will involve coat­ing the coun­try­side with drilling sites and pipelines while poi­son­ing the air and water and the emis­sion of vast quan­ti­ties or car­bon diox­ide into the atmos­phere.

The main jus­ti­fi­ca­tion used for the need for this destruc­tive course of action is that we face an ener­gy cri­sis and need this gas to “keep the lights on”. In real­i­ty uncon­ven­tion­al fos­sil fuels are very expen­sive to extract and the amount that could be extract­ed is a small frac­tion of the gas from the North Sea that we have squan­dered over the last 40 years. The choice we face is between con­tin­u­ing to feed our addic­tion to increas­ing expen­sive and dan­ger­ous fos­sil fuels or putting a stop to the vicious eco­nom­ic sys­tem that requires them.

There is a gap­ing dis­con­nect between the green rhetoric that is thrown around by gov­ern­ments and cor­po­ra­tions alike and the dirty, dan­ger­ous and impov­er­ished future that they are actu­al­ly advo­cat­ing in their quest for a quick buck. This pri­ori­tis­ing of cor­po­rate greed over the inter­ests of peo­ple and ecosys­tems while pre­tend­ing to care about them, has no bet­ter poster child than the Rio+20 Earth Sum­mit that starts on Wednes­day.

Twen­ty years after world lead­ers met in Rio de Janeiro and promised to address the envi­ron­men­tal and social prob­lems afflict­ing the plan­et they will meet again, to promise, again, to do some­thing about the now even worse prob­lems we face. As with twen­ty years ago they have no inten­tion of actu­al­ly doing any­thing that would put a check on the sys­tem of cor­po­rate exploita­tion that is destroy­ing the ecosys­tems we rely on. This is why ordi­nary peo­ple must take a stand to stop the destruc­tion if any­thing is every going to change.

Agriculture Action Camp 5–10 July Den Bosch NL

From the 5th till 10th of July in Den Bosch in the Nether­lands, ASEED will orga­nize a 6 days long camp. The camp will involve work­shops, train­ings, dis­cus­sions, and action, for good eco­log­i­cal ini­tia­tives, an alter­na­tive food chain, alter­na­tives to indus­tri­al farm­ing, and against gen­tech and meat indus­try, and more..

The camp will involve work­shops, train­ings, dis­cus­sions, and action, for good eco­log­i­cal ini­tia­tives, an alter­na­tive food chain, alter­na­tives to indus­tri­al farm­ing, and against gen­tech and meat indus­try, and more.. 

Do you know where your food comes from? Do you want to take food in your own hands and make the food chain short­er between the farm­ers and con­sumers? Do you also want to know more about the strug­gle against GMOs and indus­tri­al farm­ing that is dom­i­nat­ed by big com­pa­nies? Do you want to orga­nize actions against the meat indus­try and the imports of ani­mal feed? But you are also inter­est­ed in pro­duc­ing your own food on a sus­tain­able, cli­mate neu­tral, autonomous and social way? Are you not afraid of get­ting your hands dirty in a work­shop? All of these and more will be cov­ered dur­ing the camp. We invite activists, slow-food­ies, farm­ers, gar­den­ers, stu­dents, ani­mal friends and peo­ple who want to learn and share skills on sus­tain­able agri­cul­ture to come to the camp. Mark your agen­das and join in!

Landbouwactiekamp-medium

Last year the first Agri­cul­ture Action Camp in The Nether­lands took place in the Flevopold­er with 70 par­tic­i­pants camp­ing on an organ­ic farm for three days. We had a pro­gram full of work­shops and dis­cus­sions, and two actions close to the camp against GM crops and soy green­wash­ing. The par­tic­i­pants opt­ed for a replay, so here comes the sec­ond camp once again with an inter­est­ing pro­gramme of work­shops, train­ings, action and nice atmos­phere.

Hel­lo every­body, 
We are get­ting clos­er to the date it is all going to start, the loca­tion will be in the city of Den Bosch (or ‘s Her­to­gen­bosch) in and around a squat­ted com­mu­ni­ty gar­den project Graafse Hof in a res­i­den­tial area in the East of the city. The work­shop pro­gram is get­ting more and more con­crete. Con­firmed are amongst oth­er things: GMO update by Green­peace, GMO field lib­er­a­tion move­ments by FLM Bel­gium (more contributions/examples 
from sim­i­lar move­ments in oth­er coun­tries wel­come!!), intro­duc­tion into dif­fer­ent forms of sus­tain­able agri­cul­ture sys­tems (bio­dy­nam­ic, agroe­col­o­gy, per­ma­cul­ture), seed sav­ing, worm com­post­ing, get­ting to know your gar­den­ing tools, action train­ings by Vre­desac­tie, trac­tor dri­ving, talks with and work­ing with farm­ers, food sov­er­eign­ty: what does it mean, Euro­pean move­ment, con­crete exam­ples, and more to come. The pro­gram starts on Thurs­day 5th in the evening and goes on till Mon­day 9th July. 

Give a Work­shop? 
Want to come and give a work­shop your­self? Great! We are in par­tic­u­lar­ly inter­est­ed to hear about reclaim the fields land occu­pa­tion actions, or sim­i­lar campaigns/initiatives going on, as well as the Reclaim the fields move­ment in gen­er­al. Also look­ing for some­one who can tell more about the Euro­pean Cam­paign for Seed Sov­er­eign­ty. But any­thing rel­e­vant, you’re wel­come to pro­pose. 

Info stall @ mini alter­na­tive agro fair on Sat­ur­day 7 July, 13.00? 
Sat­ur­day we want to focus on get­ting more main­stream peo­ple to par­tic­i­pate in the camp. The work­shops are more intro­duc­to­ry and their will be a small fair. Want to have stall to spread mate­ri­als from your project or action group? Let us know. 

Net­working @ World­cafe on Sat­ur­day 7 July, 20.00 
Sat­ur­daynight we will turn a tent into a nice cafe, where every­one can come to exchange ideas and exam­ples. Organ­i­sa­tions, Ini­tia­tives and Indi­vid­u­als have the oppor­tu­ni­ty for reser­vat­ing a table, where peo­ple can sit around to have infor­mal con­ver­sa­tions. Want to have a table your project/initiative/campaign? read more here: 
 http://landbouwactiekamp.contrast.org/?page_id=181 

Action 
Mon­day July 9 will have a focus on doing one or more actions. Pos­si­ble targets/topics are men­tioned in the call out from before. The camp will decide col­lec­tive­ly what it will become at the begin­ning of the week­end. 

Finances & trav­el costs reim­burse­ments 
We have some fund­ing for the camp but not enough to cov­er all costs, so we would ask a par­tic­i­pants for a con­tri­bu­tion of 7,50 if you come 1 day, less per day if you stay longer (see the web­site under prac­ti­cal­i­ties). 
We have some lim­it­ed pos­si­bil­i­ties to (par­tial­ly) cov­er trav­el costs from peo­ple com­ing from abroad, AND com­ing on the 4th of July (help build up) and/or stay till 11th (help break down). Let us know if you want to come, and trav­el costs are an issue. If you can trav­el on one of these dates, we can prob­a­bly reim­burse (some) costs. 

Want to reserve a work­shop slot, info stall or world­cafe table, or just know more about  the camp, con­tact us via  landbouwactiekamp@aseed.net. 

We still need peo­ple to; 
-make the kids pro­gram and orga­nize the kids area in the camp 
-help us with the infra­struc­ture prepa­ra­tions of the camp, & be there on the 4th to set up the camp, 
-trans­la­tion and edit­ing texts,(NL, ENG, DE main­ly) 
-help us out with pro­gram con­tent, 
-facil­i­tate work­shops, trans­la­tion dur­ing the work­shops etc.. 

Cheers and hope to see some of you @ Den Bosch.

Sabotage Action in Mayo

June 13, 2012

June 13, 2012

Last week a stone crush­ing machine cen­tral to the oper­a­tion of Bar­retts Quar­ry in Ban­gor, Coun­ty Mayo was decomis­sioned. Bar­retts Quar­ry was tar­get­ed because it sup­plies mate­ri­als cru­cial to the con­struc­tion of Roy­al Dutch Shel­l’s dan­ger­ous and destruc­tive raw gas pipeline in Broad­haven Bay.

This action was tak­en in sol­i­dar­i­ty with the local com­mu­ni­ty who have been in strug­gle against Roy­al Dutch Shell for the past ten years, and should serve to demon­strate that any com­pa­ny com­plic­it in sup­port­ing Roy­al Dutch Shel­l’s activ­i­ties in Mayo, and beyond, can and will be tar­get­ed.

Carry On Craneing: Nuclear Disarmament Banner Drop!

9.6.2012

9.6.2012

In a pub­lic dis­play to com­mence our 30 Days of Direct Action Cam­paign, three Faslane Peace Campers are cur­rent­ly drop­ping ban­ners from the Clyde­bank land­mark gantry crane in Glas­gow. “Nuclear Dis­ar­ma­ment. If Not Now, When?”!
Plan­ning to make a day of it, they have tak­en a love­ly packed lunch and some lit­er­a­ture. How­ev­er, quite a few police vans were on scene almost imme­di­ate­ly and are mak­ing efforts to remove them.

This is the first of many anti-nuclear actions planned to mark the 30th anniver­sary of the Camp. In this run up to a Scot­tish Inde­pen­dence Ref­er­en­dum cou­pled with the West­min­ster vote on Tri­dent replace­ment in wait­ing, we have a very real chance to affect the shape of the future UK nuclear defence poli­cies. Scot­land could hold the key to UK nuclear dis­ar­ma­ment.

Now is the time for a renewed anti-nuclear insur­gency. Come to the camp and join in our 30 Days of Direct Action.

Tree protest called off after Network Rail concessions

28 May 2012

Cam­paign­ers — includ­ing three pro­test­ers who chained them­selves to a tree — claim vic­to­ry after Net­work Rail post­pones planned tree clear­ance on a rail­way embank­ment near Whit­stable in Kent.

28 May 2012

Cam­paign­ers — includ­ing three pro­test­ers who chained them­selves to a tree — claim vic­to­ry after Net­work Rail post­pones planned tree clear­ance on a rail­way embank­ment near Whit­stable in Kent.

 

More than 100 pro­test­ers held a demon­stra­tion on the Cromwell Road rail­way embank­ment in an attempt to halt the start of work to remove trees, which Net­work Rail claims could cause insta­bil­i­ty on the track.

The pro­test­ers, many of whom were local res­i­dents, are con­cerned that the works would take place dur­ing the bird-breed­ing sea­son when many are nest­ing in the trees.

A five-hour long protest, dur­ing which three female pro­test­ers in their 50s and 60s chained them­selves to a tree on the embank­ment, start­ed at 7.30am with cam­paign­ers bran­dish­ing plac­ards bear­ing slo­gans includ­ing “stop the slaugh­ter of wildlife”.

The demon­stra­tion was called off after Net­work Rail informed cam­paign­ers in writ­ing that it was halt­ing the works until Sep­tem­ber, after the bird breed­ing sea­son has fin­ished.

‘Claim­ing vic­to­ry’

The state­ment by Net­work Rail ful­fils two of the pro­test­ers’ three demands. One cam­paign­er said that they would now con­cen­trate on per­suad­ing Net­work Rail to agree to their remain­ing demand, for bet­ter con­sul­ta­tion with res­i­dents and the use of tru­ly inde­pen­dent con­ser­va­tion experts.

“Whit­stable peo­ple are now claim­ing this as a vic­to­ry,” said Julie Wass­mer, who was among the three who had chained them­selves to the tree. “Today, Net­work Rail are now aware that the peo­ple of Whit­stable are not back­ing off.”

The rail infra­struc­ture oper­a­tor planned to start remov­ing the trees because of con­cerns about sub­si­dence caused by their roots.

An inde­pen­dent ecol­o­gist car­ried out an assess­ment this morn­ing on behalf of Net­work Rail to deter­mine how many birds’ nests were in the affect­ed trees.

Fiona Tay­lor, Net­work Rail’s route man­ag­ing direc­tor for Kent, said: “After a thor­ough inspec­tion with an inde­pen­dent ecol­o­gist, the work to remove select­ed trees along this stretch of rail­way has been post­poned owing to the sus­pect­ed num­ber of nest­ing birds.

“Because this work is essen­tial for the future safe­ty of the rail­way, we will return at a lat­er date to com­plete it once the nests have been vacat­ed. Res­i­dents will receive a min­i­mum of 10 days’ notice before the start date and we will car­ry out a full inspec­tion before the work begins.”

‘Use­ful reminder’

The trees had already been giv­en a tem­po­rary stay of exe­cu­tion after plans to remove them in April were put on hold.

Mark Thomas, an RSPB inves­ti­ga­tions offi­cer, said: “The attempts by Net­work Rail to clear track­side veg­e­ta­tion from a line in Kent is a use­ful reminder to every­one that the nests of all wild birds are pro­tect­ed by law dur­ing the nest­ing sea­son.

“Thanks to protests the RSPB, Kent and British Trans­port Police, and not least local cam­paign­ers, Net­work Rail are aware of this.

We now trust they will plan their track clear­ance work out­side the bird-nest­ing sea­son where they will be able to car­ry out essen­tial work with­out caus­ing envi­ron­men­tal dam­age and spark­ing the out­rage of com­mu­ni­ties who care about their local wildlife.”

Ear­li­er sto­ry, 3rd May:

CAMPAIGNERS have promised “direct action” in a bat­tle with Net­work Rail boss­es over trees.

Pro­test­ers call­ing them­selves Whit­stable Tree Savers will meet the com­pa­ny tonight (Thurs­day) to try to per­suade it to stop felling trees along the rail­way line – and have vowed to con­tin­ue their fight if the meet­ing does­n’t work.

Cam­paign spokes­woman Julie Wass­mer, who lives in Cromwell Road, said: “There will be a mas­sive protest – and I don’t mean peti­tions. They will phys­i­cal­ly be obstruct­ed from get­ting into the car park.

“Feel­ings are run­ning so high about this it is unbe­liev­able.”  More

Take the Flour Back

More than 400 grow­ers, bak­ers and fam­i­lies from across Eng­land, Ire­land, Scot­land, Wales, France and Bel­gium marched against the return of open air GM field test­ing today. Take the Flour Back linked arms with their Euro­pean coun­ter­parts, notably France’s Vol­un­teer Reapers and walked calm­ly towards the site, before being stopped by police lines.

Kate Bell from Take the Flour Back stat­ed that “In the past, kids, grannies, and every­one in between has decon­t­a­m­i­nat­ed GM tri­al sites togeth­er. Here at the begin­ning of a new resis­tance to this obso­lete tech­nol­o­gy, we see GM hid­den behind a fortress. We want­ed to do the respon­si­ble thing and remove the threat of GM con­t­a­m­i­na­tion, sad­ly it wasn’t pos­si­ble to do that effec­tive­ly today. How­ev­er, we stand arm in arm with farm­ers and grow­ers from around the world, who are pre­pared to risk their free­dom to stop the impo­si­tion of GM crops.”

Peo­ple enjoyed a GM free pic­nic whilst lis­ten­ing to a range of speak­ers oppos­ing the tri­al, includ­ing Gra­ciela Romero, Inter­na­tion­al Pro­grammes Direc­tor of UK devel­op­ment char­i­ty War on Want. Lawrence Wood­ward, pre­vi­ous­ly Direc­tor of Elm Farm Organ­ic Research Cen­tre, for­mer head of stan­dards at the Soil Asso­ci­a­tion, and now involved in Cit­i­zens con­cerned about GM. Plus sev­er­al British farm­ers includ­ing Peter Lund­gren, a con­ven­tion­al wheat farmer from Lin­colnshire.

Gath­u­ru Mbu­ru, co-ordi­na­tor of the African Bio­di­ver­si­ty Net­work, spoke on the glob­al fight for con­trol of our food sup­ply.

Mbu­ru explained that:

“Exper­i­ment­ing with sta­ple crops is a seri­ous threat to food secu­ri­ty. Our resilience comes from diver­si­ty, not the mono­cul­tures of GM. Beneath the rhetoric that GM is the key to feed­ing a hun­gry world, there is a very dif­fer­ent sto­ry – a sto­ry of con­trol and prof­it. The fact is that we need a diver­si­ty of genet­ic traits in food crops in order to sur­vive wors­en­ing cli­mates. Above all, peo­ple need to have con­trol over their seeds”

This state­ment is released amongst grow­ing calls for the sci­en­tists to demon­strate sen­si­tiv­i­ty to pub­lic con­cern by har­vest­ing the crop before pol­li­na­tion, remov­ing any risk of con­t­a­m­i­na­tion with non-GM plants.

Two peo­ple were arrest­ed for tres­pas­so­ry assem­bly and oth­ers were searched and escort­ed on their way to the park, or searched on their way out.  Foot­paths had been closed by order, huge num­bers of cops and secu­ri­ty were in place, a cam­era on a cher­ry-pick­er close to the open-air exper­i­ment, and a spe­cial Sec­tion 14a Tres­pas­so­ry Assem­bly applied to a large area.  The peo­ple arrest­ed were in a small group, though this is only an offence for groups of 20 or more peo­ple and they may well not have known 14a was in force.
