An American Lion - The Environmentalists Are Losing Their Mojo

Environmentalism is not bad; I don't mind being able to walk around outside. I would rather not end up doubled-over, poisoned by chlorine air and covered in sores from horrid, ulcer-causing raindrops. Half-assed political organizing is the death-knell in this country.

Reverend and the Makers play at Guardian's climate change [fraud] event - Review - Spoonfed London

The folks at Climate Camp – bless their organic hemp socks – may be rounding up their swoop of Blackheath in South London tomorrow but don't expect to have heard the last on climate change. The latest to sound a clarion call on the issue is the Guardian. Today, the newspaper launches 10:10; a campaign that asks individuals, businesses and organisations to try to cut their carbon emissions by 10% in 2010.

The initiative kicks off with a mass sign-up event at the Tate Modern this afternoon from 4pm to 7pm, where indie bands Reverend & The Makers and Stornoway are putting on a storming show. Anyone who pledges to the cause gets a metal 10:10 tag made from scrap metal salvaged from old airliners, and first 1,010 to come down get a complimentary glass of champagne. (Spoonfed mantra #1: Never turn down free bubbly.)
