Camp For Climate Action - Drax 2006

Drax 2006

The camp was on a squatted site in the Vale of York, situated close to several large power stations including Drax, a coal-fired power station which is the largest single emitter of carbon dioxide in the UK.

Over one hundred and sixty workshops ran throughout the camp, sharing practical skills on living sustainably, on subjects such as the science of climate change, environmental justice and the effects of climate change on people in the global South, corporate 'climate criminals', direct action, children's workshops, and many more.

Music was turned off after 11pm - 'Power Down' - to allow campaigners (with or without families) to sleep. But on the last Monday of the camp music was allowed much later.
