Busy times in this movement and all about... I see events and activities where not only fracking but all the fossilised things that should be put in the past, are being discussed, debated and acted against. I get a sense of a surge of awareness and understanding of just how diabolical the situation we find ourselves is and how our system of government has trapped itself into a death spiral with industry and commerce that will not look beyond profit - at the harms to come to communities, families, ways of life and future viability.
In the coming weeks I plan to be part of a whole host of activities that will split my time between PNR roadside and all the essential that that is... and other places for all the usefulness they are - always a tough call but going to try to make it work and apologies to those I share the road with for being split between things x
