Why I’m not suing Harry Styles. In the same way that no one should ever sue Greenpeace. But Shell is!

Hello beautiful Greenpeace supporters,

 

Mid-tier comedian Joe Lycett here! I also happen to be a painter and, like you, a Greenpeace supporter.

 

I expect you’re wondering why I’m cluttering your inbox today. Well, I’ve teamed up with Greenpeace to create this stunning t-shirt with a print of a Harry Styles portrait that I painted after a bottle of savvy blanc. 

But what does a portrait of Harry Styles have to do with Greenpeace? 

 

Well, last year, I painted that aforementioned beautiful portrait of Harry Styles, and he loved it so much he said wanted to buy it off me. After much negotiation, we agreed on the very reasonable price of £6 and a Kit Kat Chunky Peanut Butter. Whilst I received the £6, the Kit Kat Chunky NEVER materialised.

 

So this week, because I am an attention seeker, I publicly announced that I would be suing Harry Styles. But I’m very happy to reveal to you now that I am not actually suing Mr Styles - despite the fact that the Kit Kat is still outstanding. I would never sue Harry Styles. No one should ever sue Harry Styles, in the same way that no one should ever sue Greenpeace. But guess what: Shell is!

 

I launched my own absurd lawsuit against Harry Styles to help raise awareness about Shell’s intimidation lawsuit. And now I’m calling on you, if you can, to buy a limited edition t-shirt featuring my Harry Styles masterpiece to help raise funds for Greenpeace’s legal battle.

When I heard that Shell was suing Greenpeace for millions of dollars for a peaceful protest on one of their climate-wrecking oil platforms I was furious. It's ironic that Shell is suing Greenpeace for damages, when the oil giant is the one destroying the planet. They should be coughing up damages to all of us!

 

Over 800,000 people have watched the video so far; my hope is it will cause Shell a real PR headache! You can read more about how it all unfolded and watch the video embarrassing Shell here.

 

The money raised from the t-shirt sales will power our legal campaign and send a loud message to the entire fossil fuel industry at this crucial time: we will not let the climate wreckers win.

 

The t-shirt is printed on demand, so nothing is wasted. It's made from certified organic cotton, printed with eco-friendly ink, and delivered in plastic-free packaging. The design is also available on tote bags. Also, there's free postage on Greenpeace merchandise today and all weekend, so grab them whilst you can.

And if you made it this far, thanks for reading my email! And thanks for supporting Greenpeace. They do wonderful, important work and couldn't do it without you.

 

Much love,

Joe Lycett
