The Eco-Island Supporters Group and Friends of the Earth (Isle of Wight) stage a mock-up of a picnic in a park, which may well disappear under water in a couple of decades due to rising sea levels. Isle of Wight, UK. 01/12/2009. Taking place just two days before a crucial planning meeting to decide whether to grant permission for three wind turbines to be built on the island, (already recommended for refusal by planning officers) the group wanted to highlight how time is running out for the changing climate as well as for the Isle of Wight itself. The main argument for refusing planning permission is the detrimental impact on the landscape, although the pro-wind supporters group would argue that coastal erosion and flooding as well as changing ecosystems are much more of a permanent threat to the island's landscape than temporary renewable energy structures. Futher actions are planned by the pro-wind groups on the island if the planning application for Cheverton Down is turned down.
