Today we all went down to the E-on power station in Kingsnorth to protest about the new coal-fired power plant.
It seems insane to me that whilst the government is, quiet rightly, calling the west to a greater commitment to reduce climate change. That they then agree the go ahead for a dirty coal burning power station. If we are going to preach to the rest of the world we need to put our carbon free foot print where are mouth is.
So today we joined around a thousand other like minded people to march on Kingsnorth to form a human band around it in honour of Mr Ed Miliband to say no to coal. If the goverment is going to be agreeing to a new power station it should be wind powered.
It was the first protest I've ever been on and I'm telling you know it won't be the last. The overwhelming feeling of achieving something today was good. As Mum says it might not achieve anything. They may still go ahead, but if nothing changes and when it's too late to turn back the clock. I don't want to wishing I hadn't actually at least tried to do something when we did have the chance.
