A group of socially-conscious Edmontonians have spent a weekend at a Greenpeace retreat where they learned about climate change. The group, aged between 15 and 50, were also given workshops on "non-violent direct action, and art-based resistance." One of the organisers, Greenpeace, said having a "powerful and strong message" was more important than protesting, and making sure everyone understood what climate change really meant, so politicians could be lobbied more effectively.
