Grassroots to Global - what can we do and what do we need to do to stop the destruction of our planet. 

Despite widespread acceptance about the seriousness of climate change, politcal responses continue to be alarmingly inadequate, with unchecked expansions of the fossil fuel industry. Learn about the viability of a renewable energy economy, the politics of climate change, and explore the place of everyday people in the solution.

Direct action and civil disoberdience are a fundamental part of our democracy, come and hear about examples of the success of these tactics and why we cannot afford to leave the fundamental challenge of this generation to governments alone.
