'Stop Climate Chaos' Demos - 4th November, London

SAS have been doing a lot of background work on climate change and its likely implications for recreational water users in the coming years. Much of this work is going into a report we hope to launch in the New Year.

The chief areas of concern and therefore our research relate to the impacts on water quality because of predicted rainfall increases, the likelihood of sewage treatment works not being able to cope with increased flows of wastewater, the impacts of rising sea levels on surf breaks, the effects of coastal erosion and an acidification of the oceans leading to coral reefs dying off.

All of these issues could have a serious impact on where and when we use water for recreation, and for SAS, warrant further examination and in many cases solutions to be found.

Over the last year our campaigns team have been involved in various actions that relate to this campaign - however the biggest of all actions will soon be upon us and SAS wants you there!

DEMOS - 4th NOVEMBER, LONDON!

Action 1: SAS will be meeting at 12noon outside the US Embassy in Grosvenor Square, London to join the National Climate March (www.campaigncc.org) where we'll join other marchers walking to Trafalgar Square where we'll join:

Action 2: Count in the Square, Trafalgar Square, London 1-3pm (www.icount.org.uk).

SAS are part of the Stop Climate Chaos Coalition, who are co-ordinating the Trafalgar Square action in London on November 4th as part of the Icount campaign. The action takes place on the eve of critical international climate change talks in Nairobi and we need people in Trafalgar Square in their thousands to help send a message to the Prime Minister and other world leaders that they must stand up to stop climate chaos. This is the start of something big, as organizations and individuals make their voices heard in the fight against climate change.

SAS will be looking to get there in a low carbon way and so can you! For ideas click here:

SAS wants to see you there in your wettie and boards etc. to show that recreational water users are committed to making changes in their lifestyles to preserve our water environment and want world leaders to do the same for their governments.

So meet us at 12noon outside the US Embassy in Grosvenor Square! See you there!
