It was a lovely sunny day and we met to show our support for the Greenpeace campaign to save the Arctic and stop companies like Shell drilling for oil in the Arctic Ocean. Just earlier this week the Save the Arctic expedition had reached the North Pole and planted a Flag for the Future 4Km down under the ice to call for the region to be declared a global sancturary. The flag is attached to a titanium time capsule containing the names of 2.7 million people who say that this special region of the world belongs to no country or corporation but to all the people of the world as our common heritage. So just as Robin Hood stole from the rich to give to the poor we want to protect the Arctic from the rich and save it for the world. Thanks to everyone who turned up and a special big thank you to Rachael and Henry who came all the way from Stafford to be with us on the day. We hope you enjoyed the rest of your day in Nottingham and hope to see you again some time.
So why David Cameron? Well this is me incorporating two events into one blog - bloggers laziness. I opened my emails this morning and found a blog feed from Dr Alan Whitehead, MP for Southampton Test (always interesting reading) about a speech that David Cameron made to the Royal Society on renewable energy which was strangely on side regarding climate change and renewables. But curiously the speech seems to have disappeared into the ether. No mention of it on the Downing Street website or anywhere else - but luckily it was recorded at the event so we can spread the word about this non existent speech and if any of you who read this blog ever go to see your MP about climate change and energy issues - well, here is some ammunition for you
