Day gathering of speakers, videos, workshops,
campaigns
Throughout the 20th century oil has beaten a bloodstained
path through the lands of those unfortunate enough to possess it.
The wars in Afghanistan and Iraq are a reminder that the rich world's
ever growing appetite for energy is set to bring more death and
destruction, whilst climate change, the ultimate weapon of mass
destruction wreaks havoc worldwide.
But do things have to be this way? How can we break
our Petro Addiction and effectively challenge the unholy trinity
of oil, power and politics? What does a fossil fuel free future
look like?
The morning includes presentations on: new oil frontiers;
oil and Iraq; how the UK finances oil and war; climate change overview
and impacts; and resistance to oil nationally and internationally.
The afternoon workshops will explore these issues
further, and plan local campaigns which start to dismantle our addiction
to oil and thirst for empire.
There has never been a better time to campaign on
oil and war
