Mining company, ERI Ltd, is applying to mine nearly half a million tonnes of coal from two coal tips dumped in Caerphilly, South Wales, by the mining industry last time it operated in the area. It’s vital we stop this shameless attempt to exploit the mess left behind by the mining industry to justify yet more mining. If the coal tip mining were to go ahead, it would…
Coal Action Network’s drone footage on Monday 11th March raised the alarm bell about the rising water levels. With this footage, a local resident informed Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council of the rising water levels, only to be told…
The insurance industry found itself in the spotlight last week as a Global Week of Action blossomed across the world. From February 27th to March 3rd 2024, a wave of protests, both online and in the streets, swept through the doors of insurance giants, demanding accountability over their support for polluters and decisive action on climate change.
After a week of peaceful protest around the world, alongside hundreds of groups, our efforts have paid off. Yet another leading insurance company, Probitas, has ruled out insuring the proposed West Cumbria coal mine and the East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP).

European countries should obey the rules they agreed at the recent summit chaired by Boris Johnson. Incidentally, has Boris or any of his mates got shares or any interest in any of these companies’ goings on? Why are we mining this stuff in any case? It’s only for capitalist gain. We don’t need it and certainly shouldn’t affect people’s livelihoods without mitigation and / or compensation for their losses.
Respect to these and all indigenous people. They have all suffered so much, for so long and continue to be treated with contempt by many.
They have all been forced to move off their lands, by immigrants, and should not have to endure this vile treatment any longer.
Please treat these people with respect and remember that God made the world, it doesn’t belong to us. We must share our resources and talk to live peacefully alongside each other. Let these people be. Leave the water alone, it is evil to contaminate what is rightfully theirs. It is not your right to take matters into your own hands. With the way that the world is changing, natural disasters taking over, can change or end our lives in one second. So end this prejudice and hatred. Teach future generations to share and show more respect. Give these people a clean water supply. Stop creating chaos and start to work with them.
