Spring into Action orgainising meeting Tuesday 6th March 8pm

Eastside Climate Action | 05.03.2007 18:29 | Climate Camp 2006 | Climate Chaos

The weekly orgainising meeting for Spring into Action will be held at the Sumac Centre, 245 Gladstone St, Forest Fields @ 8pm on Tuesday 6th of March

Spring into Action is a week of workshops, events, music and action on climate change happening at different venues across Nottingham.

Climate change is real and it's happening now. Governments and corporations dream of continued economic growth - economic growth can't solve this crisis, but we can. A massive and concerted effort is needed on the scale of 'Dig for Victory' or the 'Home Front': A war on climate change.

We can't continue our current way of life - the oil on which it all depends is running out too fast. A shift to a locally based economy will have to happen, with food and energy being produced by the people that use it. The only question is when? We could start now, or we could wait for a future of war, famine, hurricanes, droughts and floods. We need to gain the courage and change fast enough to cultivate a new world, before it's too late.

'Spring into Action' is part of an emerging grassroots movement against climate change. Born out of the Camp for Climate Action, 'Spring into Action' unites people across the east of England into making changes in our own lives, creating small scale solutions in our communities and resisting those who still seek their own short term gain over a safe future for us all.

So get involved, come join a workshop or run one yourself, come and help organise the change that you want to experience in our world.

Dig for Victory

06.03.2007 10:29

Spades not Ships
Spades not Ships

“Dig! Dig! Dig! And your muscles will grow big

Keep on pushing the spade

Don’t mind the worms

Just ignore their squirms

And when your back aches laugh with glee

And keep on diggin’

Till we give our foes a Wiggin’

Dig! Dig! Dig! to Victory"

Lord Woolton
