www.climatecamp.org.au An interview with Pete Gray from Newcastle at Climate Camp 2008. Filmed by Colin Wirt and first published on EngageMedia.org At the 2008 Camp for Climate Action, over one thousand people peacefully blockaded the world's largest coal exporting port in Newcastle. Five hundred people from coal communities, unions, climate change groups, faith groups and students participated in five days of sustainable camping, participatory decision-making, strategy and campaigning workshops, non-violent direct action skillshares, a huge human sign, kids' activities, prop making and action planning.
At the Sunday action, 57 people were arrested; and all coal trains to Carrington port were successfully halted the day. The ABC 7.30 Report stated, while showing footage of Climate Camp, the battle lines in Australia's climate change debate had been redrawn. We learned that we can stop the reckless expansion of the polluting coal industry; but we have a lot of work to begin together.
