Today (25 March) is the deadline for submissions to the Government's consultation for Justification for New Nuclear Reactors.

For your convenience, a sample e-mail is provided, along with contact details. It will only take a minute of your time to copy and paste and send. read full story / add a comment

2008 saw the biggest Climate Camp to date and the most incredible array of direct action against climate change on record.

Climate Camp hits the City of London on April Fools Day, the eve of the G20 leaders' London Summit. read full story / add a comment
