We demand better

Hi John,   Are you sick of getting poorer, whilst companies trash the natural world and line their pockets from our inflated bills? [1] Tired of politicians choosing the interests of big business over ordinary people?   It's time to demand actio…

Ban disposable vapes

Hi John,   Did you know that in the UK alone, we throw away two disposable vapes every second?    This mounting waste isn't just an eyesore in our communities—it's polluting our land and water, and wasting precious resources like lithium. [1]   …

Last chance to join us

Hi John,   By now I’m hoping you’ve seen a brilliant new short film and song called Don’t Stop? If you haven’t seen it, you can watch it here. Greenpeace has made this film, because we need to inspire thousands more people to campaign with us fo…

This is not normal

Hi John,   Right now parts of northern India are enduring scorching heat waves that have already killed 166 people [1]. In the UK, sea temperatures have reached an all-time high since records began, putting immense stress on marine plants and wi…

You need to see this...

Hi John,   Like me, you’ve probably been horrified by images of New York lost in toxic smog and thousands of people left homeless by flooding in Italy.   As a Greenpeace supporter, you know how vital it is that we stop the fossil fuel industry d…

It’s everywhere!

Hi John,   Let’s talk about plastic. Plastic pollution is flooding our planet, and taking its toll on human health and the environment.   Thankfully, we have a chance to change things.   Next week, governments at the UN are starting the second r…

Urgent: stop new protest laws

Hi John,   What would our country be like without protest?    There would be no votes for women, no free press and certainly no weekends. Because all of these things and more were won by generations before us protesting for change.   Our country…

Arrest first; apologise later

Hi John,   The government is attacking democracy.    Their new anti-protest laws resulted in the heavy handed policing of the Coronation the other weekend. Protestors were arrested for simply carrying placards and people who weren’t even protest…

Can you believe this?!

Hi John,   I’ve got bad news for you. Shell has just made £7.6 BILLION in profit in the first three months of the year. That’s £61 MILLION a day. Just let that sink in. [1]   Shell is raking it in while our energy bills double and extreme weathe…

Re: Stop this before it starts

Hi John,   Deep sea mining is a new threat to our oceans. The industry wants to get the greenlight to start mining this year - but we can stop it before it starts. The UK must join countries like France, Germany, Spain, New Zealand and Pacific c…

Hi John,   Monster machines are gearing up to rip up untouched nature, local communities are facing devastation and a handful of executives are set to profit. This isn’t Avatar - this is deep sea mining and the UK government is complicit. [1][2]…

Ban private jets now

Hi John,   It’s appalling! Prime Minister Rishi Sunak spent over £500,000 of taxpayer money on private jet hire in just two weeks. [1]    It’s shameful reading, but the bigger issue is this, nobody should be using private jets! The UK needs to t…

RE: Puffins
