Critical mass bike ride against climate change, pollution and the G8
On the 6-8th of July the G8 is being held at Gleneagles, Scotland. Tony Blair wants to put Climate change at the top of the agenda but this Government promotes policies that are devastating to the environment.
Such as:
- £5.5 billion road-building programme to build 200+ new roads.
- Airport expansion (12 new runways across Britain); refuse to tax aviation fuel despite government promises to tax polluting industries
- 500 million of public money for export guarantees to the oil and gas sector per year in the last three years via the UK Export Credit Guarantee Department (ECGD).
- Nuclear energy classed as 'green' with Labour plans for more reactors
So lets do something about it!
