This site is for shar­ing eco­log­i­cal direct action sto­ries and oth­er rel­e­vant events & news. Please post any stuff you hear about.

There are var­i­ous con­tacts and resources linked on the ‘Con­tacts’ page, with many use­ful Resources links too.

[Leaflets, posters, logos and the like can be found through the ‘Image Gal­leries’ — still out of action unfor­tu­nate­ly, Decem­ber ’11]. Action pho­tos can be found in rel­e­vant sto­ries. You can also down­load anyimages that are on this web­site for your ‘cam­paign­ing needs’. Either click on the small thumb­nails in a sto­ry to get the big­ger sized image, search, or browse through the ‘Image Gal­leries’ [see above], or by sub­ject.

You can look at past sto­ries by: look­ing at old pages as num­bered below the main page, brows­ing by sub­ject or area by click­ing on that issue or loca­tion link, list­ed to the left, or using the search box.

You can also sub­scribe to RSS news feeds in your news read­er or book­mark tool­bar — there is a feed for each region and each sub­ject. Click on the orange square sym­bols in the nav­i­ga­tion tool­bar or at the foot of the page under the news sto­ries once you’ve select­ed which feed (by region or sub­ject) you’re inter­est­ed in. Do use these or the rel­e­vant link on your spe­cif­ic web­site, to share the sto­ries you are inter­est­ed in. Note: sor­ry, ’email this page’ link tem­porar­i­ly dis­abled due to spam­ming prob­lems.

Your secu­ri­ty — note that there is a ‘secure’ SSL con­nec­tion avail­able to this site (https://earthfirst.org.uk/actionreports). It will have no details for the Com­mon Name, hence the error mes­sage. This auto­mat­ic brows­er warn­ing scares a lot of peo­ple off going to the site, so we’ve rein­stat­ed a stan­dard http ver­sion.

If you want to browse ‘even more’ anony­mous­ly, use a proxy serv­er such as Tor (if you have your own com­put­er) or Anony­mouse (for pub­lic com­put­ers).
