Camp for Climate Action Report Back
Rising Tiders from across the UK traveled to this year’s climate camp. Our first reaction – wow the site is in the back garden of RBS HQ! (Hats off to the people who took the site). The camp was undoubtedly smaller in size than previous camps but that was made up for in the number of actions that took place and the great spirit around the camp. We all got stuck in to helping the camp run smoothly; setting up, cooking, helping in the kids space, taking shifts on the gates, helping meetings run well, and of course helping to plan actions!
