Campaigners in Horncastle at ‘Deep Water Rising’ protest

  • 3 years ago
Through a campaign called ‘Deep Water Rising’, demanding action to protect communities from the consequences of global heating, people across the UK took part in a ‘call the alarm’ to alert the attention of the world’s leaders, who are currently attending COP26, the UN’s Climate Change Conference in Glasgow this week.
The group gathered at iconic locations that are vulnerable to flooding on Saturday evening (October 30) before the start of COP26, and the protest in Horncastle took place at the Market Place where the protestors took candles and torches to shine a light, and brought drums, whistles, and even saucepans and wooden spoons to make plenty of noise.
Following the noise, there was also a two minutes’ silence to reflect on how the world has been impacted by climate change.
