cause climate disaster.

July 16 to 27, Bonn, Germany: World leaders will meet for the UN
climate negotiations. In Bonn they will decide if the Kyoto
Protocol, the world's only binding agreement to reduce CO2
emissions, will survive, or if they will let political inaction
cause climate disaster.

July 21st, Bonn, Germany: Friends of the Earth invites thousands
of people to build a giant climate RESCUE BOAT with their
messages from around the world, a symbol telling politicians and
the media: DON'T SINK THE CLIMATE TREATY!

EVERYONE'S WELCOME to participate in this colossal action - watch
out for a bus going from your area (see website) or make your own
way there, and bring a wooden plank (1m x 10cm) to add to the
boat, with your personal message to the politicians written on
it! (To create a "sea of people" around the boat, we ask people
to dress in blue.)

We will all construct the Lifeboat together in the middle of Bonn
(the boat will be 30 meters long!)! We will pull the boat through
Bonn to the conference centre, where it will stay for the rest of
the negotiations. We will provide you with free overnight
accommodation, cheap food and a great party on Saturday night.

Buses are already planned from Bulgaria, Denmark, England,
Estonia, France, Germany, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania,
Netherlands, Poland, Scotland, Sweden and Switzerland.
If you want to organise a bus yourself, please let us know.

YOU CANNOT COME TO BONN?
But your message can! Simply send us your message -- via the web
or normal mail (or why not on a thin piece of wood?). All
messages received in time will be used to construct and decorate
the Lifeboat.
