Buy Nothing Day Rat Race

Submitted by Anonymous on Sat, 11/24/2007 - 16:21

BND placardsTo mark Buy Nothing Day, 12 people from Norwich Rising Tide held a Rat Race in the city centre.

Activists created a mobile rat race that stopped off at the city’s busiest malls and high streets.

People in rat costumes hurried hither and thither between the edges of the rat race maze, built out of placards reading Work Harder, Earn More Money, Buy More Things, Keep Going, while Fat Cats advised that happiness was just around the corner if the rats would only keep shopping!

At Castle Mall the rats were flummoxed by security guards who forced them to move on; after all, the rats were only telling people to buy more stuff!

Hall of shame

Hall of Shame (Naming and shaming the climate change deniers, last updated around 2004. For more current denial info, see Climate Denial and The Heat is Online)

 

Keeping track of the journalists and academics who promote their careers by denying climate change.

One would think that no one could continue to seriously deny our addiction to fossil fuels is damaging the world's climate systems. Who could be arrogant enough to ignore the consensus of 2,000 climate scientists and all the world's scientific institutions; blind enough to miss the melting permafrost, the shrinking glaciers, the regular freak weather?

Singing a world beyond oil, Unnatural History Museum, October '07; photo by Rikki

 

15 or so folk from all over Carbon Town gathered today to sing a new hymn of hope to an oil-free future in the co-opted cathedral that is the Unnatural History Museum, where the heartbreakingly beautiful Shell Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition has just opened. For a short film click here.

Here are the words we sang:

'there’s a bird dressed in black
there’s a world nearly cracked
there is me, there is you
what the hell shall we do?
