<big><strong style="color: red;">Draft only, page under construction</strong></big> ==Tar Sands Extravaganza, May 29th, Queen Street RBS 11am Flashmob== A group of Norwich activists are seeking support for a RBS protest extravaganza on Saturday the 29th of May. The event will start at 11:00am outside RBS on Queens st. in Norwich city centre. As part of the protest we would like conduct a flashmob 'die in' accompanied by a samba band, banners, leafleting, and a short march around the city centre. We'd really like you to come along, even if its just to say hello and see what's going on. Here is a short blurb about our motivations: Nature doesn't do bailouts! RBS-Natwest (owned 84% by the UK taxpayer), keeps providing billions for the extraction of tar sands in Canada – causing the destruction of huge areas of borreal forests, intoxication of water resources and the destruction of the lives and livelihoods of indigenous communities. Due to the high-energy extraction process, tar sands cause even more CO2 emissions; heating the climate more than 'normal' fossil fuels. From fossil fool's day on April 1st onwards, groups throughout the UK and all over the world will target banks providing money for tar sands projects, demanding them to stop fueling destruction. Especially RBS/Natwest, after being bailed out with public funds, has to apply environmental and social criteria to its credit provisions. Stop cashing in on the destruction of our planet!
