Campaigners sat in kayaks outside government offices in London to protest at “false solutions” to climate change. Twenty activists wearing flippers and goggles demonstrated at the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) to mark the end of the Climate Camp.
Thousands of people have begun leaving the camp, a week after it was set up in Blackheath, south-east London.
Police said its “low-key” approach was a “success” and showed it heeded the recommendations after the G20 protests.
‘Failed systems’
Green activists wore arm bands, goggles and flippers and sat in kayaks during the demonstration in Whitehall Place.
Jane Roberts, a protester, said: “We thought that DECC’s staff and Ed Miliband might appreciate some goggles and floats because if they continue with their destructive policies they will need them.
“Rather than getting serious about tackling climate change, DECC is simply seeking to preserve these failed systems with false solutions, such as carbon trading.”
