UK's first nanotech action

smelly | 16.11.2004 02:21 | Ecology | Social Struggles | Technology

this was the first nanotech action in the UK, and I've not heard of any in other countries..., so maybe the world?

For info on what happened, see

http://indymedia.org.uk/en/2004/11/301222.html

Just thought I'd post a picture, and highlight that it's certainly the UK's first action on the issue, possibly a world first.

Read up on it: www.etcgroup.org and search for their report 'The Big Down'

Get scared, then get active!

Actually you're all following in the footsteps of the 30 Jan 2004 protest of the groundbreaking of the Molecular Foundry, a new Dept of Energy nanochemistry facility at the Lawrence Berkeley National Lab in Berkeley, CA USA. We're number 1! USA forever!
