Bristol Friends of the Earth Aviation Protest

A day of action on the Climate Change Bill is being organised by Bristol Friends of the Earth

Venue: College Green, Bristol.

Assemble by 12:30pm at Queen Victoria's statue (in front of  the Marriott Hotel at the far end of the green from the Council House) for a press stunt. The stunt should take no more than 30 minutes. We  
will be joined by Stephen Williams MP.

The aim is to make very public the Government's (and Gordon Brown's)  deliberate attempts to exclude international aviation from the Climate Change Bill. We and many others feel that this is like being on a diet but continuing to gorge on chocolate. We are asking all of Bristol's MPs to sign up to EDM 736 which urges inclusion of aviation, and also to vote for amendments to include it in the Bill.

The stunt involves a person dressed as Gordon Brown covering his eyes  and holding a large cardboard plane to emphasise that aviation is  being ignored. Supporters beside him will hold up more planes, posters  with "include aviation in the climate change bill" on them, and hand out leaflets and pamphlets.
