There are lots of things we need for the camp, most of which can be found in skips, given away on freecycle, or tatted from building sites. The more of this stuff we find, the more sustainable (and cheaper) the site will be to set up.
There will be prizes at the camp for whoever (individuals and neighbourhoods) can supply the most tat, and for the most imaginative or audacious items tatted!
Please e-mail site[at] climatecamp.org.uk if you can supply any of it.
A lorry will travel around the country picking up materials for the site from 14 august onwards. If you want it to pick up anything from your place, please email transport[at] climatecamp.org.uk by the beginning of August, so the route can be planned.
The following number will be live from the Leeds gathering, it can be used to arrange the collection and delivery of equipment tatt etc from anywhere to anywhere and back again: 07789362772.
