Protest at Pinar Del Rey

Yesterday we supported the protest at Pinar Del Rey near San Roque. It was part of a series of demonstrations against the planned road (autovia) and building construction project across the nature reserve. Many groups and individuals from both sides of the border were there.

Auction for Youth

Friends of the Earth, Gibraltar will be holding an auction of items submitted by the public in the Garrison Library on the 26th April (during Earth Day week) to raise funds for a special project. Sellers forms will be available at Beacon Press, Cloister Ramp from the 15th to the 21st April. Items can be viewed on Friday 25th April from 3 to 6p.m. and Saturday the 26th April from 12 to 3 p.m. The Auction will be the first step leading up to a special competition and exhibition for local youth on World Environment Day in June.The enterprise is designed therefore to encourage 'eco' ideas, inventions and initiatives from young people.In this way, say FoE, two important annual dates in the environmentalist calendar, Earth Day and WED, will be bridged this year by an important project to help Gibraltar's next generation address 'green' challenges.
