Manchester, England Fossil Fools Parade!
Posted Apr 1st, 2008
Manchester’s Fossil Fools got up to all sorts of tricks today, visiting some of their idols in the city centre… unfortunately in our efforts to congratulate the best fossil fools a few mishaps occurred…

Climate activists pull a prank that packs a punch on April Fools DayToday the Edinburgh battalion of the Clandestine Insurgent Rebel Clown Army (CIRCA) paid a visit to Sainsbury’s and Tesco to highlight the absurdity of Food Miles, as part of “International Fossil Fools Day”.Ten clowns descended upon the supermarkets between 4 and 6 o’ clock in the afternoon, in time to intercept shoppers on their way home from work. The red-nosed army marched into the new Sainsbury’s on Middle Meadow Walk, where they acted out the carbon intensive process of transporting food from farmer to plate. 
At the University of Kentucky, students protested the university’s coal-fired power plant by climbing atop the coal stockpile, and raising giant wind turbines. Raising a mock wind turbine on top of the UK power plant’s coal fuel pile was designed to show the futility and myopic vision of the University’s current energy policy. While happy to learn that UK does not use coal from mountaintop removal sites, the State of Kentucky’s flagship university is a fossil fool and it must demonstrate leadership and a far-thinking approach to its energy sourcing and usage. 
The Royal Bank of Scotland is one of the main financiers of climate crime, in the form of oil and gas exploration. After targeting the Trinity Street branch last year, this time protesters paid a visit to the Hills Road Branch to mark the occasion of Fossil Fools Day.See
