The Camp for Climate Action, at Kingsnorth, Kent, 3rd to 11th August, 2008

JOIN WITH THOUSANDS IN MASS ACTION TO SHUT DOWN KINGSNORTH POWER STATION

CHOOSE YOUR ADVENTURE – LAND, SEA OR AIR

This summer the Camp for Climate Action will be located in Kent near
Kingsnorth coal-fired power station, where 10 million tonnes of carbon
dioxide are pumped into the atmosphere every year. On Saturday August
9th, the camp will culminate in a spectacular mass action to shut down
the power station. (click "read more" to get full details...) Why
Kingsnorth? While the power station is scheduled for demolition, its
owners E.ON are planning to build a brand new coal-fired plant in the
same place – a ludicrous response to the climate crisis threatening
hundreds of millions of lives around the world. The Camp for Climate
Action has other ideas. Beginning on August 9th, we intend to shut
down Kingsnorth – permanently!

Those at the camp will be joined by thousands more from across the UK
to converge on the power station via land, sea and air. We are
organising ourselves into four different groups, each using different
tactics. There's something for everyone (including a group accessible
to parents and children).

The `Great Rebel Raft Regatta' (GRRR) will be launching an armada of
rafts of every shape and size. From pirate ships to Viking boats, a
multitude of different themed rafts are being constructed out of
recycled materials and every bit of scrap imaginable (materials will
be available at the camp for you to build your own rebel raft – for
more info see www.thegrrr.net). Once on the river, rafts will swarm
towards Kingsnorth like a giant shoal of disobedient fish, all with a
single aim – shut down the climate criminal. Safety is obviously of
paramount importance and full safety briefings and equipment will be
provided.

If you're a landlubber, not to worry, you can join the `Orange Pod',
who will be putting on their dancing shoes and heading straight for
the main entrance in a colourful, musical spectacle. And if you're
more of a fan of wild undergrowth than endless economic growth then
the `Green Guerrillas' will be approaching through the surrounding
fields and woods, looking for weak points in the perimeter fence – up,
under or through.. As for the aerial approach – these plans are
strictly under wraps, find out more at the camp!

If you can't make it to the camp, join us just for the day. Trains run
from central London to a pick up point near Kingsnorth every few
minutes and take less than an hour. If you have more time, come to the
camp the night before, or for the full week (August 4th – 10th) where
you can take part in over a hundred workshops and experience
sustainable living in action, like 1,500 people did last year.
Times, transportation information and more details about the groups
and their meeting points will be available at
