Without public finance this project cannot go ahead. It is vital to put pressure on key decision makers for financing the BCP, and companies who are involved in the project. Here are some ideas for getting involved:
Outreach and publicity
Organise a speaker meeting- come to speaker training or contact us for support in organizing a meeting about the pipeline. We have information, materials and a range of speakers about different aspects of the pipeline project. If you'd like to be a key motivator in your area, then come along to the speaker training in January
Students - Organize speaker meetings, write letters, ask questions.. and more.. at BP recruitment events, and oppose BP sponsorship in your universities.

WHY THE KYOTO PROTOCOL IS PANTS
George Marshall 27th July, 2001

This was decided at the recent 3rd conference of Peoples Global Action in Cochabamba, Bolivia, for inclusion in the PGA manifesto. (See also www.agp.org):
