Break Free from Fossil Fuels
Break Free Nigeria action at Oloibiri Well 1
NIGER DELTA, NIGERIA -- Tuesday May 10th, 2016. Demonstrators participate in a Break Free action at Oloibiri Well 1. Nigeria's first oil well was set up in 1956 in Oloibiri and it was abandoned in 1978; the community however continues to pay hefty pollution costs. Neighboring areas where drilling for oil is ongoing continue to experience constant oil spills and gas flares.
Break Free 2016 is a week of coordinated direct actions that target the most dangerous fossil fuel projects, in an effort to keep coal, oil and gas in the ground and accelerate a just transition to 100% renewable energy. Thousands of people all over the planet are putting their bodies on the line to send a message to polluters and politicians that we need to break free from fossil fuels now.
