On Monday 12th January 2009 at 7pm the Climate Rush will hit Heathrow. We will arrive in Edwardian dress (under a big coat!) with hampers of food to have our ‘Dinner at Domestic Departures’. This will be an action against the construction of the third runway and the unsustainable use of short-haul, national flights. It will take place on the day that the MPs return from their winter holiday.
When the string quartet plays its first note we will reveal our dress and share our food. Ours will be the first peaceful sit-in of the environmental movement. Hundreds will join us and together we will make history. We have waited too long and been misled too many times. It is time for us to take control and to lead social change.
After a hugely successful storming of Parliament, The Climate Rush is back in town!
Any day now the government will announce its plans to expand Heathrow and no amount of marching or letter-writing will make them stop. Sipson Village will be demolished. Millions of Londoners will find themselves under new flight-paths. The UK will continue to lag behind the rest of Europe and the world as it misses climate target after climate target.
It is time to take our future into our own hands. It is time to take action.
You and all of your friends, networks and neighbours are cordially invited to our ‘Dinner at Domestic Departures’, 7pm on Monday 12th January at Heathrow Airport Terminal One. Join ‘The Climate Rush’, ‘Climate Action Now’, ‘The Women’s Environmental Network’ and Caroline Lucas MEP as we celebrate the UK public’s commitment to beating climate change.
