How about we stop building the huge SHell gas refinery in Erris?

Or is that too- hands on? Maybe t'would be better to ring bells, play drums, dance , sign petitions etc etc...

Idea surely they will listen to us now.

Hopefully there will be a good turnout by Rossport Protesters over there.
In Dublin, Tara supporters will march at 2pm through the city along with other concerned groups.
We only have one planet and we are all in it together, no spoof.
