The Earth First! Winter moot is an opportunity for people who feel affiliation with the ideas behind Earth First! to network, discuss and reflect on the UK ecological direct action movement and to plan for the future. Earth First! is about direct action to halt the destruction of the Earth. We believe we can make a real difference by doing it ourselves rather than relying on leaders, governments or industry.

Who Really Deserves the Fossil Fool Award? TckTckTck or us?

Three climate activists are this morning due in Westminster Magistrate’s Court charged with criminal damage against the Canadian High Commission in London following an action to stop the Tar Sands..

The following article is a critical response to a communiqué from the black bloc ‘Greenpeace-Greenpolice’ which contests the role of ecology in recent political conflicts taking place around the recent COP 15 Summit with the intention of drawing support away from the Reclaim Power action at the Bella Centre on the 16th December.

Cop15 came and went and protesters did some amazing coverage. This is an overview of what"s been happening during the crazy days in December 2009. See calendar of events and the Cop15 Wire for an overview of actions and postings. A lot of videos were published as well as pictures and videos from mobile phones directly from the actions.

Further below is an edited version of the statement collectively released by the 11 remaining Cop15 Prisoners. Meanwhile, a website has just appeared solely concerned with repression in Copenhagen:

A decisive step towards a global climate justice movement. A political analysis of where we stand post-Copenhagen.

This communique was given out by a portion of the Black Bloc during the march to the Bella Centre on Saturday at the protests against the U.N. COP-15: There seems to be a common logic between the government delegates, the NGOs who control the march, and even the radical ecological activists: we are all saving humanity together. Who would not want to fight for this? And even if you did not, do you even have a choice?
