EXTINCTION Rebellion protestors will be outside County Hall this week to wish Cornwall Council an unhappy third birthday to its declaration of a climate crisis.
January 22nd marks the third anniversary of Cornwall Council's declaration of a Climate Emergency.
Extinction Rebellion and other environmental and community groups will be protesting at the full council meeting at County Hall on Tuesday 18th from 8.30am.
The messages will be: "Unhappy third birthday Cornwall Council".
"Three years of hot air, climate action now"
HIGH HOPES: Flashback to Extinction Rebellion celebrating Cornwall Council's declaration of a Climate Emergency three years ago
Protestors will highlight missed opportunities, decisions made and actions taken by the council in the last three years that are at odds with a climate emergency declaration and bringing Cornwall to net zero by 2030. They will also highlight solutions and areas the council should and can work on.

The activists say this will be an eye-catching and theatrical event with a giant birthday cake, unhappy birthday cards to councillors, giant gift boxes with solutions written on them and unhappy birthday hats.
Protestors will sing a climate change themed "Unhappy birthday to you" song.
There will also be a Die In to symbolise the lives already being lost because of climate change.
