It's been a week of action at EcoStreet this past week.
The first, and most urgent action I need to let you know about is to get an email off to your MP pronto (today's the last date) about tomorrow's vote in Parliament about the replacement of the old Trident nuclear missiles. So get cracking on this if you don’t want the British government to start building a new generation of nuclear power stations, or replace the aging Trident nuclear missiles with newer weapons of mass destruction. At EcoStreet, we've got a letter that you could copy and as it's the thirteenth hour, I suggest using WriteToThem.com to get an email to your MP today.
And here's an interesting petition to sign. As you probably know, Number 10 have set up an online system to allow people to petition parliamentary bills, and the Road Lobby have been using the system to oppose proposed vehicle tracking and road pricing. Tim Lewis has concerns about the extent of car use in the UK, and has therefore set up a petition to oppose the Road Lobby's one, and to support vehicle tracking and road pricing. You can find out more here.
Staying political for just another paragraph, Ben Nickell of GreenSteps has written an article for EcoStreet this week, asking whether Tony Blair is gambling with our future by setting a 3'C temperature rise as acceptable. Read more here.
On a lighter note, if you'd like to put yourself in the running to win £150's worth of green books from the Friends of the Earth new online bookshop, find out more here. Play De Smog Blogs new Stars and Stinkers game and find out who's a climate activist or climate terrorist. And if you're in the London area, take advantage of 50% off the entire organic winelist (with a meal) at the Duke of Cambridge organic pub in Islington.
Till next week!
