Party At The Pumps II

The second Party at the Pumps organised by London Rising Tide and the London Tar Sands Network. This time the venue is provided by a Shell petrol station in North London.

For one afternoon the forecourt is transformed into a zero carbon emissions zone. Samba bands Rhythms of Resistance and Sambatage from SOAS university join forces to provide the fantastic music as protestors dance, picnic and leaflet passers-by.

Not all the drivers hoping for their petrol fix are happy to be confronted by banners warning them about the devastating environmental impact of Shell's tar sands extraction project in Alberta, Canada.

Transport accounts for 21% of UK carbon emissions, which, give or take a financial crisis, are STILL rising in real terms, pushing us ever closer to the planetary catastrophe of runaway climate change.
