New websites about stopping new coal
As the campaign to stop new coal builds momentum, the number of websites and campaigns targetting coal across the UK continues to grow.
Yorkshire Against New Coal (YANC) is part of a campaign to oppose coal developments in Yorkshire - including an open cast mine near the Fairburn Ings bird sanctuary, near Castleford in West Yorkshire. YANC is campaigning to stop this proposal. Open cast mines not only destroy countryside, wildlife habitats and people’s lives - they are helping to push climate change to an irreversible point. You can check out their news, and support the campaign at http://yancnews.wordpress.com/
Telford Against New Coal (TANC) is a campaign group dedicated to calling a halt to the extraction and burning of coal in Telford, Shropshire and the UK as a whole.
Leave it in the ground - a quote from James Hansen on what we should do with coal - is a network of groups campaigning against coal, "As a network, Leave it in the Ground is run by and for the groups that make it up, existing as a way to establish common ground, facilitate networking and share information and skills". Visit their pages and get involved at: http://leaveitintheground.org.uk/
The most readable blog about new coal is the trendy Coal Hole website - find out why Dr James Hansen is the man, watch the latest videos and read the five best reasons for coal, and why they're still really really bad.
