Countdown To Climate Camp London

Have you seen the funky new updated hot-off-the-press Climate Camp website? It's gorgeoulicious! And with a jam-packed programme of events and workshops on offer, the event itself promises to be a real treat.

Camp is only 1 week away, so if you're still making up your mind whether or not to go - do it! Don't worry if you can't take all the time off work or have other pressing engagements. Come along for a day or two, pop in whenever you can, hook up with specific events that grab you or just give in - take time off from everything else for just one week (that's only 7 days) of your life that could change the rest of your life and make the future just that bit easier for everyone.

Some reasons to go to Camp
It will be fun: Get creative and dramatic in art and theatre workshops, practice yoga in early morning sessions, join a singing group or learn how to climb a tripod!
Make a whole new bunch of friends: You'll meet a vast array of people from all over the country, some of whom will be loud passionate environmentalists, some quietly patient transitioners, some hopeful optimists living the sustainable dream, some less hopeful worriers wondering how to be more effective and if it's all worthwhile. Share perspectives and we could all leave feeling more positive and passionate!
Learn useful skills: From direct action techniques, how to communicate effectively and taking documentary photographs to building compost loos and soundsystems, making a generator and starting a community food project, there are a host of projects to get involved with and skills to help us all into a sustainable future.
Be inspired: Listen or join in discussions on a variety of topics such as sustainable economics, bio-fuels, nuclear energy, peak oil, diversity, effective activism, Copenhagen, London Olympics and much, much more.
Embrace proactivity: Instead of sitting around hopelessly waiting for our governments to do something useful, get together with other future focused people and make a positive difference now!

From: Climate Camp - Prepare To Swoop
"On Wed 26th August, the Camp for Climate Action will take back the city of London in a massive public swoop. Everyone is welcome to join us, as we converge on the secret location where the camp will rise. This summer, we are swooping together, and together we will transform a part of London into the physical manifestation of our desired worlds."
