Something for the Weekend 2 November 2012 #Manchester #Climate

  • Did you hear about the restaurant on the moon?
  • It has great food, but no atmosphere.

And this weekend, the only “eco” events we know of are these:

Saturday November 3rd, Living Wage campaign, 

Reminder of the meeting organised by the Town Hall Branch of Unite proposing to set up a Greater Manchester campaign for a Living Wage. Open meeting Saturday November 3 at 1 pm, at the Friends Meeting House, Mount Street, M2 5NS. Green Party members are encouraged to attend to establish that we are not a one policy (climate change) Party and that we, like other progressives, want to campaign against poverty and neo-liberal politics

Saturday November 3, Stop Expansion at Manchester Airport

 Air travel is the fastest growing source of CO2 emissions in Britain. Now Manchester City Council are poised to approve an enormous cargo centre, part of the new Airport City project, which will vastly increase the amount of freight in and out of the airport, and will destroy homes,woodlands and fields and threaten wildlife.The protest will be in the form of a family friendly wildlife walk around the areas which would be concreted over. Please come and join local residents, Stop Expansion at Manchester Airport (SEMA) and other protestors. This Saturday, 3rd November, at 2pm, meet at Hasty Lane, WA15 8UT. Warm drinks at Romper pub after the tour of Sunbank.

If you know of other weekend events that are about “climate” (and that includes food growing, or cycling or whatever), then let us know and we can include them in future “Something for the Weekend”s…
