The stories of Sipson

From one of our colleagues in the UK today came a link to a very simple video - a photo essay really - that went right to my heart. It depicts the very normal lives of people living in the village of Sipson, near Heathrow in the UK. Sipson will be wiped off the map if and when the plans for a third runway come into place.


These are not stories of climate change, they are stories of home and what it means to lose it. What it means to find out the cemetery where your parents and wife are buried will be replaced by a long strip of concrete.





Take action now to stop this senseless destruction.
