National Anti Fur March and Rally
Saturday 27th September 2008, London.
Meet 12noon at Belgrave Square, SW1
For more details and a map go to more details and map...
Following the very successful anti-march in London in December, we will be marching against fur again on Saturday 27th September. We will be marching around the Knightsbridge area, taking the anti-fur message right to the heart of the UK's fur retail trade.
As well as reaching thousands of shoppers and tourists, the march will take us past some of the most notorious retailers and designers of fur, including Gucci, Prada, Escada, Versace, Fendi, Joseph, Armani and Burberry, as well as the notorious Harrods, the only department store in the UK still selling real fur.
More details to come, including a social planned for after the march, but please keep the day free. Please let us know if you're planning to attend, if you need a lift or can offer a lift to fellow protesters, please contact CAFT and we'll put people in touch.

film night
on the push (eco-surfing)
26th september 2008 - 6.30pm for 7pm start
Venue to be confirmed - but it will be somewhere at the University of Plymouth, Drake Circus, Plymouth.
Surf instructor and film maker Anne Gallagher joins Undercurrents news agency co-founder Helen iles.The duo go on a 12 month journey to challenge the surf industry to be more eco-friendly.
Why?
Rising sea levels because of global warming could lead to a loss of waves at low tides, oceans may become more acidic, choking the life out of our ‘playgrounds’ and making it a lonely place to surf or sail. And the prospect of a reprieve for nuclear power could result in more localised pollution from radioactive discharges and signs posted from environmental agencies saying not to use the water for recreation. There is much to be concerned about but there are solutions.
What impact does surfing have on the climate and the climate have on our surf?
