Surfers Against Sewage: actions in London
Surfer organization “Surfers Against Sewage” (SAS) took part in different protest actions against world wide polution.
In London early this month, SAS met in front of the US Embassy in London to join the National Climate March. Goal was to rise public awareness for global heating and to urge world leaders to take action in preventing catastrophic climate change.
The action took place on the eve of critical international climate change talks in Nairobi. This is the start of something big, as organizations and individuals make their voices heard in the fight against climate change.
In particular different environment conscient organisations are calling on the Government to stop climate chaos. The demands:
UK government should take a lead and has to work for agreement to cut carbon pollution. World-wide carbon pollution must be in decline by 2015.
Action in the UK: No nonsense - at least 3% year-on-year carbon reductions.
Action for justice: Help the poorest countries get access to clean energy, help them cut out poverty and deal with the climate disasters they are already facing.
Why is SAS doing this? The chief areas of concern and therefore our research relate to the impacts on water quality because of predicted rainfall increases, the likelihood of sewage treatment works not being able to cope with increased flows of wastewater, the impacts of rising sea levels on surf breaks, the effects of coastal erosion and an acidification of the oceans leading to coral reefs dying off.
