It's time to show MPs what we think about the Digital Economy Bill.

A chance to meet other CAAT supporters, get the latest information on our campaign and share ideas for action in the run up to the election. If you like, you can also take the chance to practise some public speaking skills and become a CAAT speaker!

Probably only a few weeks before the election, this event will look at how we can use online and local media to spread our message, as well as give you the latest information on our campaigns, and a chance to plan some local action for 'Stop Week'.

We are still in the organisation stage at this moment as it seems to be getting bigger by the day! At this moment in time we are anticipating 3 zones: 1) Farmers Market (which will feature anything grown, produced / made or farmed locally) 2) Transport and Waste (bus, train, Eco taxis, cycling, walking, car sharing and waste disposal, land fill, recycling etc..) 3) Social and Environmental Sustainability (Importance of community, bees and the environment, electricity generation / carbon trust, Fairtrade, eco products, etc..)

Rising population is one of the most important issues facing our planet today. The GENE MEME population debate asks What should be done about it? Speakers: Aubrey Manning OBE (University of Edinburgh), Professor John Guillebaud (UCL), Roger Martin (Optimum Population Trust), Fred Pearce (New Scientist, Guardian), Savina Geerinckx (Street Child Africa), The Revd Jeremy Caddick (University of Cambridge). The debate will be followed by a drinks reception at the GENE MEME art installation in the Crypt Gallery. Tickets £6. Book online at www.genememeart.blogspot.com
