John, The EU plans to stop carmakers selling polluting cars from 2035. But those plans may never become law, if Toyota and their Brussels lobbyists have their way. Toyota had the chance to own the green car market, but it fell asleep behind the wheel, and is now lobbying to prevent climate action and clean air laws instead. Sign and share the petition to Toyota to stop lobbying for fossil fuels, and go green for real. The world's biggest polluters are guilty of arson of our only home. Those are the words of UN Secretary-General António Guterres, who called the latest UN climate report "an atlas of human suffering". Climate disruption is here already -- and still, Toyota hasn't stopped lobbying for fossil fuels. Please join the other 92,000 people who've signed the petition already -- and spread the word! Thanks for all that you do, Here is an email I sent out before with more details about Toyota's dirty lobbying:
John, Toyota is one of the world’s top lobbyists against laws to protect us all from catastrophic climate breakdown. Only oil giants ExxonMobil and Chevron are doing more lobbying harm! Maybe oil barons don't care, but Toyota bosses hate it when news about their lobbying gets out. Public outcry in California last year helped make Toyota pull out of a lawsuit to block climate action there. So if we can mobilize even more of us now, we can stop their dirty work everywhere. Will you add your signature and spread the word? Tell Toyota to stop abusing our trust, and go green for real. The giant Japanese carmaker earned a green reputation -- and now it’s abusing it, according to reports in the New York Times and The Guardian that show how Toyota is using its power to stop ambitious climate laws. Toyota had the chance to own the green car market, but it fell asleep behind the wheel, and is now lobbying to prevent electric vehicle mandates and clean air laws. Toyota’s dirty business won’t end until investors, workers and customers demand change. Some investors are beginning to complain, but it’s not nearly enough. That’s why we’ve got to make our Toyota climate campaign so big that they can’t miss it. Sign and share the petition to Toyota to stop lobbying for fossil fuels, and go green for real. The Red Cross estimates that already, more refugees flee environmental crises than violent conflict. But Toyota is still lobbying to extend the fossil fuel era for extra profits, while trading on its image as a company that cares. This stops here. That’s why SumOfUs is joining a coalition of activists and campaigners around the world focusing on Toyota, and fighting for people over profits. Together we’ve moved megacorporations before. Let’s go!  Thanks for all that you do, More information: 'Delay means death': We're running out of ways to adapt to the climate crisis, new report shows.
