UK residents:
Chris Packham has started a petition against fossil fuel advertising and sponsorship. It is yet to pass the 100,000 signature threshold for forcing a parliament debate.
Please consider signing:
https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/700024
Petitions - UK Government and ParliamentPetition: Ban fossil fuel advertising and sponsorshipAdvertisements encourage the use of products and sponsorship promotes a positive reputation & creates a social licence of trust & acceptability. In 2003 a ban on all tobacco advertising was introduced and has arguably worked. I believe continued fossil fuel usage will kill more people than smoking.
"Major noise is required to make approving Rosebank, or any other new oil and gas, feel like a big risk to the government’s popularity. The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero is currently running a consultation, and on 24 April we’ll be jointly handing in hundreds of thousands of signatures calling for an end to new oil and gas in the UK."
