How can cream pies, sitting on top of an airliner, singing on a
runway or squatting a crane stop climate change? How do cheap flights
increase sea levels? How did British activists stop an airport from
destroying a beauty spot?

A documentary exploring the growing activism against the Labour
governments plans to expand nearly all British airports despite
the growing threat of climate change. Includes dramatci images of
activists blocking a runway at Amsterdam's Schiphol airport, Treetop
protests to hinder construction at Manchester and activist training
to stop Swansea airports expansion. Heathrow airport expansion is
halted as local activists climb a 30m crane and squat for 7 days.


Expand your mind with an explanation
of Corporate 'Carbon Trading' and insights into how common lands
have been stolen to build Britsh airports. Find out alternatives
to flying. Have a laugh as corporate leaders are cream pied for
their failure to stop climate change gases.

discover what the real thing is in Columbia.
