Camden Friends of the Earth braved the cold weather to join in with the March for a Zero Carbon Britain on Saturday 4 December 2010, organised by the Campaign against Climate Change.

The day started with a protest cycle ride from Lincoln’s Inn Fields, followed by a giant aerial photo in Hyde Park spelling out ‘2030′ with a giant zero to illustrate the call for a Zero Carbon Britain by 2030 (if you look very closely you might spot Maria and Susan at the bottom of the final zero!). The march then made its way from Hyde Park, culminating in a rally by the Houses of Parliament, where we heard speakers including Andy Atkins, Executive Director of Friends of the Earth and MP Caroline Lucas (see video below).

To end an inspiring (but cold!) day, Jess sang at the after party, held at the Enterprise pub in Holborn.

Together with Brent FoE and Barnet FoE we had letters published in local newspapers on the dubious ‘green’ claims of energy from waste and the North London Waste Authority:
‘Waste plan is dubious‘ in the Ham & High, 18 November 2010
‘A chance to invest in technology that has real benefit‘ in the Barnet Press, 25 November 2010
