Here are some shots of our most recent outdoor advertising campaign.
With climate change now so high on the agenda and with so much coal still to burn it’s really important that the public buys and drinks EV-EON water.
Everybody can save the planet with EV-EON Unnaturally Carbonated bottled water.
What do you think….?
Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) involves removing dangerous greenhouse gas emissions, like carbon dioxide, from the coal power generation process before it gets into the atmosphere.
The technology could be viable at some point in the future but…
“CCS is as yet unproven technology and we have to acknowledge there is some risk that safe and reliable CCS for power generation might not be proven or deployable at scale and at reasonable costs.”
- John Hutton, UK Energy Minister.
E.ON claims that its proposed coal fired power station at Kingsnorth will be CCS ‘ready’ so that the technology can be fitted later down the line. Yet whilst we wait for CCS to arrive, Kingsnorth will pump out millions of tonnes of carbon, none of which will be stored and all of which will be a massive driver of climate change.
The government says we must rapidly reduce our emissions yet is welcoming back coal with open arms for another 50 years of polluting whilst viable alternatives already exist.
The government has launched a competition for energy companies to win funding to build a CCS demonstration project - and E.ON is set to apply and would likely win. Yet E.ON’s Kingsnorth proposal is 4 times the size of the much smaller demonstration project being offered by the Government. This means that even if CCS does work 75% of the emissions would not have to be captured and would be released to go on and drive climate change.
Until Carbon Capture is a reality we cannot allow new coal power stations to be built and until then it must be seen as it is; green wash so good you could bottle it.
Find out what you can do and the alternatives to coal….
We are people just like you. We have no logo, no board of directors, no political agenda. We aren’t long-haired neo-luddites dreaming of a return to some grubby medieval society. We have jobs, in London, that we like.
Climate change is real and it is happening right now. In the face of this glaringly obvious global crisis, we have been moved to act by the false solutions of green-washed corporate greed, the hypocritical weakness of our government, of the public being treated like stunned dummies who will happily shut up and ignore the slow switching off of our life support system as long as we get to watch Britney OD on a flat screen tv.
Brought together by the Heathrow Climate Camp, we aim to increase discussion about the truthful consequences of putting relentless economic growth above and beyond the continued viability of the very systems that support us, and raise awareness of the positive alternatives and actions to be taken.
We are regular people just like you choosing to do something other than just lie down and be scared, or worse… bored.
