Camp For Climate Action Meeting: Cardiff, Sun 28th July, 3pm
Do you live in Cardiff or South Wales? Are you worried about climate change?
Are you interested in going to the Camp for Climate Action this August? Or do you just want to find out more about the Climate Camp?
Then come to an open meeting at the PAD Social Centre, 118 Clifton St, Adamsdown at 3pm on Sunday 28th July.
The meeting will involve:
* Finding out about the experiences of people who went to the first climate camp near Drax coal-burning power station last year
* Info sharing with folks who've been involved with planning this year's camp
* Planning transport for those who want to travel together to the camp from South Wales
All welcome! Bring your friends!
PS: Feel free to turn up earlier and experience the legendary PAD vegan fry-up (11am-3pm) where you can pig out on delicious food and fair-trade Zapatista coffee, listen to great live music, and meet some lovely people.

The Camp for Climate Action 2007 Tuesday 14th August to Tuesday 21st August Eight days of low-impact living, debates, learning skills, and high-impact direct action tackling the root causes of climate change. Why?
The science is clear - we have 10 years to save the world from catastrophic climate change. We must act now to take action against the worst polluters and create real sustainable futures. The fate of life itself for generations to come is in our hands. The time to act is now.
Aims of the Camp for Climate Action It's easy to feel overwhelmed by the problem of climate change. It's easy to feel that we can't make a difference. Our aim is overcome feelings of isolation and helplessness by bringing people together to create a community of resistance. We hope the camp inspires people to take action, share ideas and beyond the camp, make a start in their own localities and spheres of interest. The camp will...
Be a place where we explore grassroots solutions to climate change through workshops, skill-sharing, education, debate and entertainment. The camp will also bring together people already campaigning on this and related issues.
Take direct action against the root causes of climate change. Yes we need to change light bulbs and stop flying to Spain for the weekend, but we also need to act collectively. This is the only way to stop the actions of those vested interests that watch the planet burn while counting the money they make from the fire.
Demonstrate and live the alternatives by bringing diverse groups and individuals together to live in an ecologically sustainable, cooperative way. The camp will aim to be as carbon neutral as possible and all energy, except perhaps gas for cooking, will come from renewable sources.
Be a space for celebration, for kids and families, a place to socialise with friends old and new. Western civilisation has tried to answer the eternal question of what it is to be human by surrounding itself in a cocoon of objects, an endless stream of meaningless stuff. This is a chance to show the opposite, that less can be so much more.

Yeah, and they were pretty lame. And the sound system seemed to be having major hiccups. The main amplification kept dropping out. Trust Cardiff to screw up something simple like plugging in an amp rack and a stack 
Hope Jimmy Cliff is a bit more inspiring tonight.

Catch a grip! They were dull as 15yr old dishwater!! And if "professional" means putting on a tight show - such as most Butlins performers can manage - then give me am-dram any night of the week!
But you'd say something like that even if Technotronic and Snap were playing a free double-headliner in yer back garden with support from the Silver Bullet Band, Salt 'n' Pepper and S'Express. Loooooser------------>L. *
