[Committee] Fwd: Mobilise! [Fwd: Re: Your Planet Needs You - Article for Website]

[S.J. Stretton]

Hello,
Yes it would be good to organise an event about green taxes and climate
change. Adrian and Robin would also be interested in such an event (cc'd).
We'd spoken about getting a debate on permits v taxes but just focusing on
taxes might be easier to organise.

Good to hear the feedback about Dr Kohler's talk. I too would have been keen
to hear more about his research in detail - especially learning by doing
effects. I think he had a different perception of the likely audience.

I added some new events to our calendar, including a talk by Prof MacKay
coming up.
 There is an anti-Exxon protest on Thursday which might be interesting to
people.
I've also made some small changes to the website so it is a bit more logical
in structure.

Please start a page on the new wiki for anything to be sent out to
camlist.  I don't want us to seem too 'greenpeace-intl' though - leave that
to 3c's...

Maybe see you on Thursday 12th (CAMACAG if it is going ahead).

All the best,
Steve
