Allotments

Hi John,   There are almost 175,000 applications on the UK’s allotment waiting list - with some people waiting 15 years. [1] But did you know that we have the legal right to them?    That’s why two weeks ago artists and volunteers, led by Dr. JC…

This will only take a minute

Hi John,   Right now, the CEOs of the world’s biggest oil companies are meeting at a luxury hotel in London to plot new ways of destroying our planet for profit. [1]    Thousands of people have rung up the hotel in the last few days to politely …

Stop Big Oil CEOs now

Hi John,   In a few days, the CEOs of the world’s biggest oil companies will be descending on a luxury hotel in London to plot new ways of making profit from climate-wrecking fossil fuels. [1]   For the sake of our planet we have to stop these B…

Make it count: 30x30

Hi John,   Over 80 countries, including the UK, have now signed the UN Ocean Treaty. [1] Signing is a positive step, but it's just that — a step. As of now, these commitments aren’t legally binding.   This is our chance to ensure promises turn i…

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 …

Hi John,   This is the biggest conservation victory - ever! Earlier this year, thanks to you and over 5 million others around the world, leaders finally took action and agreed to a Global Ocean Treaty. [1][2]   But the journey is not over yet. W…

Can you join George Monbiot for a call?

We have exciting news John!   An election is coming, and it’s our best shot at winning climate action. Politicians think that voters don’t care about climate, and we’re going to prove them wrong. Street by street, town by town: we’re going to re…

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…

Enough is enough

Hi John,   Unbelievable, isn’t it? As countries across Europe battle devastating wildfires and extreme heat, Rishi Sunak’s government announced they will hand out 100 new oil and gas licences.   This is a climate disaster.   Scientists have made…

MPs - Don't water down climate promises

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]   …
