We are Extinction Rebellion Bournemouth, Christchurch, and Poole, a volunteer-powered group standing up to protect our planet and build a stronger community. We believe ordinary people have the power to change things and that we are stronger together.
Extinction Rebellion BCP took action today at Bournemouth Pier.

We held a 2-minute silence for the war dead, lost species, imprisoned climate activists + future generations.

Then our silent #COPOut exhibition exposed the failure of 30 climate talks.

Calm. United. Unignorable. ✊💚

🐔 Nando’s: your chicken is killing our rivers! 🐓

We took action at Nando’s Bournemouth - the River Wye is on the brink of ecological collapse due to pollution from industrial chicken farms.

They say “sustainability isn’t just a buzzword” - their supply chain tells a different story.

🚨 BREAKING: The government has handed billions more in subsidies to Drax—the UK’s single largest carbon emitter. That’s £450 million per year in public money funding deforestation, pollution & skyrocketing energy bills.

💰 Drax emits more CO₂ than 29 countries—yet they’re STILL getting taxpayer cash
