Rising Tide-Plymouth & Art Not Oil-Plymouth took the Plymouth city centre streets to bring you the big “Fossil Fools Farce”, a street theatre to remind us there are facts and names behind the Climate drama. Citizens and cops, all they took leaflets and showed their interest...!

Meet 1 PM at Oxford Circus

BP want to start extracting oil from the tar sands, the single most destructive project on earth - fuelling climate chaos and trampling the
rights of indigenous communities.

We want to stop them.

On Saturday, 10th April, hundreds of people from London and beyond will gather at the pumps to send a message to BP: “you’re not going into the
tar sands without a fight!”

Come to a mass action! Bring yourselves, your friends, whistles and drums if you have them, and a Zone 1-2 travel card. Meet at Oxford Circus and be ready to make a move to our final destination.

Take action to keep BP out of the tar sands – the single most destructive project on earth.

The BP Fortnight of Shame is a call to action from the UK Tar Sands Network, Rising Tide and the Camp for Climate Action to force BP to reverse their crazy plans to move into Canada’s tar sands. It runs between the annual Fossil Fools day on April 1st, which in recent years has seen a flurry of action against the fossil fuels industry, and BP’s Annual General Meeting on April 15th. Grassroots groups across the UK and around the world, will be taking action in solidarity with First Nations communities in Canada to stop BP's deadly plans in their tracks.

The Art Not Oil Diary 2010: Abandon Despair All Ye Who Enter Here

The Art Not Oil Diary 2010 is a beautiful, stirring 365 day reminder of the extraordinary art that is
being made in the struggle for a safer, more just future, and the crucial
role that our creativity will need to play if we’re to have a chance of
reaching that place.

New band Green Kite Midnight spent the early part of Tuesday evening serenading those
attending the BP Portrait ceremony with a series of tunes inspired in part
by visions of BP decommissioned. NPG employees were very helpful, (though
they were outnumbered by BP and BP-funded security men), and we set up our
banner and instruments just beneath one of the 'supported by BP'
statements on one of the huge posters on either side of the door. (It
seems that some people thought we might have been invited by BP. Ah
well...)

Dress rehearsal to take place at BP's 100th AGM, Custom House DLR, 10.30am, 16.4.09

Oil goliath BP, already forced to postpone its centenary party at the British Museum on April 1st, (also known as Fossil Fools Day[1]), has rescheduled the event for May 6th. Art Not Oil[2], the group behind the original demonstration against its 'tarnished centenary', will be throwing 'A Wake for BP' as guests arrive at the British Museum between 6pm and 7pm on the new date.
