Oxford, on a "bit nippy" night in March...back to the Old Library above the Vaults...for the second "inaugural" launch of the Climate Information Outreach Network COIN Climate Action Groups
http://coinet.org.uk/coin_action_groups_brochure.pdf.
Around 30 people in the room : ably and wonderfully and humanly facilitated once again into announcing their ideas for Climate Action Group topics. I stood up and said I want to do a "LETTER SLAM" : get together some example letters to MP's, MEP's, local councillors and so on and post them on the Internet so that people who are feeling frustrated but uninspired can cut and paste from the sample letters into their own letters...we're already doing this on the Campaign against Climate Change website forum/portal
http://portal.campaigncc.org/?q=taxonomy/term/141
and I have basically committed to getting some sample letters on the Operation Noah website (exact URL Website Internet Address to be decided).
I asked the COIN Climate Action Group meeting to support me on this : and I got some volunteers to write letters...plus I joined the "POSITIVE RADICAL ACTION" Climate Action Group that formed : we are going to put together a guidebook on non-irritational pro-result actions that we will publish ahead of the summer Climate Camp.
Plus, I have discovered a new group called "Little Green People"...more news to follow...
