You know this feeling...

Hi John,   As soon as I saw the footage in the video below, it gave me a feeling I think we all share. That feeling of being deeply connected to the incredible world around us – and fiercely wanting to protect it.    Thank you so much for choosi…

Oceans need your help

John, I know my colleagues recently mentioned our shortfall this year. We are 274 donations closer to our target but still 825 short. As part of the Oceans campaign team, I can tell you firsthand how regular, reliable support is essential to us …

John, are you one of 1,099?

Broken food system

Hi John,   Nobody likes being told what to eat, or where food comes from but understanding, and changing, where our food comes from and how it is produced is a critical part of tackling the nature crisis and climate change.   The first step is e…

This is all thanks to you, John

John, a lot can happen in a year. From protecting our oceans to fighting Big Oil giants, we’ve shown that a people-powered movement can take on even the biggest challenges – and win.   It hasn’t been easy. The government has closed its eyes to t…

Re: Stop their toxic plastic pollution

Hi John,   I am going to share some information with you that will send shivers down the spines of the planet's greediest corporate plastic polluters.    Since I wrote to you last week about Dove’s toxic plastic pollution, we have received more …

Shell vs Greenpeace

John, we're being sued by Shell. Yes, you read that right.   A top oil giant who raked in £5.1 billion in profits over the last 3 months [1] is suing us.    Our brave activists occupied their climate-wrecking oil and gas platform in the North Se…

Hi John,   In the past 3 months the UK was hit by Storm Babet, Libya was devastated by floods, and Brazil battled cyclones.   But the fossil fuel giants driving this climate crisis have been getting filthy rich in the meantime. Shell has raked i…

Make it count: 30x30

The biggest conservation victory ever

Hi John,   Great news! The UK Government has just signed the UN Ocean Treaty in New York. This is a big step towards protecting 30% of the world's oceans by 2030. [1]   But there’s still more to do. The government must make it legally binding …

URGENT: Take a stand

Hi John,   Profit over people and planet. That’s the message Rishi Sunak sent this week when he ripped up plans to get us to net-zero.   Sunak put the brakes on banning petrol and diesel cars and delayed insulating homes [1][2]. It’s a con that …

RE: Ban disposable vapes
