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

Hi John,   Disposable vapes are the new kid on the block when it comes to our wasteful throwaway culture. In the UK, we throw away 1.3 million disposable vapes each week - that’s enough waste to fill 22 football pitches! [1]   It’s a huge enviro…
