National Climate March - Sat 6 Dec
For coach transport details from
Redditch, see below.
Over 10,000 environmentalists are
expected to join the National Climate
March on Sat 8th December 2007 to "demand that world leaders take the urgent action we need to prevent the
catastrophic destabilisation of global climate". The National Demo
in London will be one of many demonstrations on climate taking place all
around the world on the same day ( see here ), midway
through the UN Climate
Talks.
This Global Day of Action has become an annual
event. On Sat 4th November last year, an estimated 30,000 people took
part in the climate march and subsequent rally at Trafalgar Square,
simultaneous with hundreds of thousands more at events across the
globe. In London, there was a sea of homemade banners/placards, samba
bands, hundreds of cyclists and many people in imaginative costumes.
The most magnificent aspect of the day was that such a wide cross
section of society and groups took part. There were members of
Greenpeace, Oxfam, Wildlife Trusts, Islamic Relief, trade unionists,
RSPB, Ramblers Association, CAFOD, Friends of the Earth, Womens
Institute, Christian Aid, People & Planet etc alongside grassroots
campaigners & anarchists, all coming together to tackle the biggest
issue threatening the planet. Sadly, very few people were there to promote
the environmental benefits of plant based diets, but it will be very
different this year!!
The Campaign for Eco-Veg*nism are
calling on thousands of veggies and vegans to join the event in
order to demand that world leaders stop propping up the animal
farming industries that cause climate change and raise awareness
amongst environmentalists and the general public that their choice
of diet is critical to the survival of the planet!! Click here for more
details on this.

Bring & Share Xmas Supper - Wed 3 Dec
If you`re veggie or vegan(or moving in that direction), why not
come along to our meeting and get to know other veggies/vegans from across
Redditch! We`re a friendly bunch, of all ages, from assorted backgrounds.
We have one thing in common - we want to live a healthy, compassionate,
eco-friendly lifestyle by not eating meat/animal products, and we want to
promote the many benefits to others!
Bring and Share Xmas Supper
We`re inviting everyone to bring along some food for the rest
of us to share. Use your imagination and culinary skills to prepare
something special or, if you have neither(!!), pop into
Red
Kite Health Foods or your local shop
and buy something that requires little work! It doesn`t have to be
festive food, anything will do.
Also at this meeting, Red Kite
Health Foods will have a stall offering festive tasty treats and lots more
besides!
FREE ADMISSION - Everyone
