REPORTS FROM
THE RISING TIDE UK GATHERING
13/14 OCTOBER 2001
A weekend of inspiration,
meeting people and sharing experiences
Report
back: National campaign round-up & workshop summaries
Critique of Kyoto presentation
Report from carbon sinks workshop
Dismantling the oil industry workshop
Environmental Justice workshop
The
impacts of lifestyle consumption workshop
The gathering hoped to
bring together activists working on climate change from around the
UK (and beyond) to generate a sense of community of people working
on climate change issues. These reports give a brief reminder of
what went on, together with contacts for people who gave the workshops
and people for further information and resources.
Over the course of the
weekend some 90 people came to the gathering - some staying the
entire weekend, some for just one workshop, and many people remarked
on the diversity of campaigns and opinions represented at a grassroots
gathering.
THANKYOU to all who came
to the gathering and put your energy, time and ideas into it, to
people who gave workshops, who performed, who helped in the many
ways which were needed, and a HUGE thankyou to the Manchester Environment
Resource Centre at Bridge 5 Mill for letting us use their very inspiring
venue for the gathering and for being such a huge support - if you
want to find out more about their project, contact merci@gn.apc.org
