Two Degrees 8: Camp for Climate Action
First Broadcast: 28 November 2006
Featuring:

CAMP FOR CLIMATE ACTION
The Two Degress Show takes a flashback to August and the Camp for Climate
Action which initiated high-profile direct action against Drax - the UK's
biggest single point source emitter of carbon dioxide and Europe's biggest
coal-fired power station. The Camp also involved over 150 workshops
covering everything from peak oil to permaculture.
The programme features three interviews with people who played a lead role
in establishing the camp as low-impact event in terms of energy (virtually
all power supplied by renewable sources), food (vegan, locally-sourced),
sewage (waste returned to local farmers as a fertilising resource) and
waste water (made safe for returning to the land using a grey water system).
