STOP PRESS: News from the future
This week, we’re printing a special publication, urging journalists
and big business to put people first. With 2020 hindsight, we’ll show
how action today made the future possible.
Without radical change, the world will soon be a hostile environment,
unleashing weather of mass destruction on our Age of Stupid. So what’s
stopping us? In simple terms: the economy, stupid.
If we accepted limits to growth, and invested billions in a Green New
Deal instead of bank bailouts, we might cut emissions as fast we need
to. Carbon rationing would help, but we’ll have to demand it. And for
that, we need to hear about the benefits.
Journalists frame public debate, and the City frames public policy.
We’re pressing them to reframe their thinking, and prove they’re Not
Stupid.
Come and join us! And bring your friends…
WHAT?
We need your help to hand out our materials – as much as you can carry
(in a big rucksack, holdall or cart). We’ll explain what to do, and
you can come back as often as you like for refills.
WHEN?
Friday, 27 March, between 0630 and 1230. Whether you can spare a few
minutes or the whole morning, you’ll make a difference.
WHERE?
Waterloo. Collect materials near the station (we’ll say exactly where
on Thursday), then travel to convenient distribution points.
HOW?
If you’d like to help, please tell us today, so we have an idea of
