We've produced this leaflet (right) to help draw people to the website and into active involvement with us. (It also carries a hefty plug for Leeds CRAG, following our recent agreement to work alongside them in promoting carbon reduction.)

Stop the airport expansion!
SCCL and TIDAL are taking a leading role in the local coalition to scupper the expansion plans for Leeds Bradford Airport. Over the next four years they’re hoping to increase passenger numbers from 2.9 million a year to 5 million.
Find out more and send a message to Leeds City Council planners at the NLBAE website.
Green New Deal
Some of the biggest names in the green and development movements have come together to write a report outlining the policies which could solve the “triple crunch of the credit crisis, climate change and high oil prices”. They’re calling it The Green New Deal, in an allusion to Franklin D Roosevelt’s courageous programme to rescue the American economy after the Wall Street Crash of 1929 which marked the beginning of the Great Depression.
The report has received widespread national media attention because of the high profile of the authors. It is a collaboration between some familiar names, including Tony Juniper, who until recently was director of Friends of the Earth, Caroline Lucas, Green Party MEP, Andrew Simms, policy director of the New Economics Foundation and Ann Pettifor who gave us the Jubilee 2000 campaign and is now Campaign Director of Operation Noah.
