Hi John,
Earlier this week the government released its so-called Jet Zero strategy. The document is a risible piece of greenwashing which proposes that UK aviation continue to grow on the basis of non-existent clean technology and offsetting [1]. It was somehow fitting, then, that on the very same day the UK recorded its highest ever temperature, 40.2C, at Heathrow Airport.
‘Jet Zero’ is the kind of dangerous fantasy you end up with when climate policies aren’t allowed to break with big business as usual. It’s clearer than ever that if we want to stop climate change, we need system change. To help push this message home, we’re about to do a third print run of our hugely popular illustrated booklet, The Case for Climate Justice. If you’d like some, please get your order in now so we can get a sense of how many to get printed.

Read and order the booklet ([link removed])
We know that lots of community and campaign groups around the country have ordered the booklet, and some of them have told us they’ve not only been distributing copies on stalls or at protests, they’ve used them as the basis for discussions and political education sessions too. That’s exactly what we hoped would happen, which is why we’re taking this opportunity to print more.
If you could use 10, 20 or 50 copies of the booklet, order them now, and we’ll post them out during August. They’re free to anyone who can distribute them. If you could use more than 50, we’re happy to send them, but please get in touch with some details.
Order your copies ([link removed])
In solidarity,
James O’Nions
