Life at the Climate Camp - a personal perspective

30-08-2006 20:06

I think it's important to get across to others not here, that this camp is a great example of people working together to create a vibrant living environment. It's probably been noted elsewhere in reports on Indymedia or other websites, but I've been really impressed with the whole set-up here - from disabled compost loos, to fab food served up three times a day without fail at each of the five camp neighbourhood kitchens, to impromptu singing sessions at night, to kids play and workshop areas, to an Indymedia field media centre complete with satellite link-up. And not to mention the impressive array of workshops about different aspects of climate change going on every day.

Tuesday's climate camp goings on & bicycology stuff

30-08-2006 09:55

Some of the workshops to hang around
Yesterday afternoon bicycology cyclists left en masse from the climate camp to establish a presence in nearby Selby town centre. The cops presumably thought we might double back, crash the main Drax gates, storm the control room, locate the big on/off switch and padlock it off. So they followed us closely all the way stopping at every roundabout to video us. Once in the town, we distributed subversive literature promoting sustainable lifestyles and also offering a Dr Bike workshop to fix the local people's bikes. Plenty of locals, especially kids appreciated this offer and the workshop was kept constantly busy for several hours. The cops continued their intimidatory surveillance tactics, initially with 5 police vehicles parked around the town square and several cameras. They finally realised that we weren't actually so much of a threat to national security.

Twenty arrested at scene of Hartlepool Nuclear Blockade

29-08-2006 17:32

Twenty people have been arrested at the Hartlepool Nuclear Power Station Blockade.

Up to nine people were involved in locking on to create blockades at the front and back of the power station.

One can only assume the total of twenty arrests must therefore include all of the supporters. It definatly includes a card carrying NUJ videographer who was there to cover the events.

It's understood those locking on had to be cut out of their arm tubes etc and were in place blocking the gates for most of the day.

More later when confirmed.

360 degree virtual reality tour around climate camp

Video
Just to give everyone who hasn't attended the climate camp (why not!?) an idea of the scale of the camp. Somewhat jerky video twirl right around the camp using a tripod but not the normal type of tripod that video makers use.

This is the future

29-08-2006 10:56

Can you spot obvious mistake?
This place is amazing and I think it will go down in history. We are all working together and learning new ways of living which will be essential for our future without oil.
We are taking responsibility for ourselves, including decisions that affect us, our impact on the earth, and each other.
This is a tremendous achievement whether we shut down Drax or not.
