Activism?

It's very frustrating being a surfer in Wales after having that couple of weeks of great surf the last 3 haven't seen anything bigger than 2ft.  But as I'm stuck working in London this week I'm kinda glad because it means I'm not missing anything.

We've been filming On The Push for a year now and the end is in sight. Helen and I have scripted the final couple of days shooting for the end of July and the editing is going to happen through August in time (hopefully!!) for the premier on the 19th September at Porthcawl's Grand Pavilion.

When I interviewed Richard at the C Change Trust he suggested that some times other action is needed to bring important issues to the forefront of peoples minds.  I've never been involved in activism of any sort so wasn't too sure where to start. Also feel a little nervous about using activism as a way of raising the profile of issues. But I'm willing to give it a go.

There's a Climate Change and Heathrow airport expansion protest in London on Saturday which I wanted to go on to experience this kind of activism.
