Ban oil company ads:

Hi John – Twitter has announced it's banning political ads to help stop the spread of misleading information. [1] But the new policy does absolutely nothing to stop oil companies using adverts to try and deceive the public. Right now, oil companies like BP are bombarding the public with ads, t…

Plastic

Hi John, Politics is as confused and as messy as ever. But one thing that’s never been more clear - our environment needs protecting. And a strong Environment Bill is a good step to get that protection. Yesterday, the Government introduced the Bill to parliament and MPs will soon be debating…

Plastic

Hi John, It’s no secret, plastic has invaded our environment. And it’s everywhere. It’s in our sea salt, rain, the air - and now it’s been found falling with snow in the Arctic [1][2][3]. One thing is clear: we need to drastically reduce the amount of plastic we're producing and using. And s…

BP: outrageous

Hi John – right now, BP are bombarding the public with greenwash ads, trying to convince us all they're not climate wreckers. At the same time, they're out there digging up new oil and gas, and digging us deeper into the climate emergency. It's an absolute scandal that oil companies like BP ar…

Re:The Amazon is still on fire
