Diary of a Permaculturalist 14: Greenpeace Scales Parliament

Follow-up to Diary of a Permaculturalist 13: Notes towards an essay onNecessary Rot from George Ttoouli, Warwick Writing Programme

Not, as I'd have hoped, a case of Greenpeace covering Parliament in fishscales, which might have made (some, allegedly) MPs stink for real, rather than simply metaphorically. From their open letter to Parliament:

Dozens of Greenpeace volunteers scaled the walls of the Palace of Westminster yesterday and spent the night on the roof to welcome you back from your summer break. The threat of climate change is so grave that it requires radical action and we believe that what we are doing here today is necessary to send a clear message to the country's politicians. If we don't change the politics and take real action here and internationally we will lose our chance to save the climate.

Read the open letter in full.
