We see the war against nature intensify year by year. The air that we breathe poisons us. The very life-support systems of the earth are under daily attack. The ozone shield that protects us is ripped apart. The climate is starting to go haywire.
Vibrant life is replaced by cold concrete.
This country has seen in the last three years an explosion of ecological resistance. Bulldozers are occupied so they can't be used, trees sat so they can't be chopped down and land siezed so it can't be destroyed. There have been anti-road campaigns at Twyford Down in Hampshire, against the M11 in London, at Pollock Estate in Glasgow, Solsbury Hill outside Bath, Jesmond Dene in Newcastle, Thanet Way near Whitstable, Exeter in Devon Whymondham in Norfolk, on the Isle of Skye, Leadenham in Lincolnshire, Wells in Somerset, Oldham in Manchester, Newbury in Berkshire and Preston in Lancashire. Direct action has brought the road construction programme to its knees. There have been occupations of oil, logging, construction and mining multinationals' head offices.
