Campaigning
We sometimes run high-profile campaigns to make sure urgent issues get the attention they deserve.
Campaigning is particularly effective when lots of people get involved. Your help, whether vocal or financial, is always appreciated.
It's a crucial time – the choices we all make in the next few years will have a huge influence on our world. By acting together, we can achieve much more.

Help clean up our act in the UK!
We need your MP to vote in support of legal limits on CO2 emissions from coal.
A few weeks ago we contacted you about the new Energy Bill. The Bill will be voted on in Parliament by all MPs very soon and we now need your help again. There is still a gaping hole in the Bill which could mean that new polluting coal fired power stations could still be allowed to be built. This could lock the UK into uncontrolled carbon emissions for decades. We can’t allow this to happen.
Let’s start cleaning up our act here in the UK right now.
