Dear Transitioners

 

Please ask all your supporters to sign the petition of seven Friends of the Earth groups plus UK Youth Climate Coalition, to get selected multinationals to make LARGE greenhouse gas emissions cuts SOON. A large company can change quite soon when its reputation is at risk, as it needs to compete for profits and investor confidence.

 

PLEASE SIGN:

PLEASE ASK ALL YOUR SUPPORTERS!

Why these 3 companies?

 

HSBC are investing far too much in dirty energy, raising global temperature, thus making severe weather more frequent. Unlike some other banks, HSBC invest much less in solar or wind energy, which are now good value.

　

Npower are mostly owned by RWE, Europe’s most climate-harmful electricity generator, which uses a lot of coal. You can switch to another company which uses clean energy.

 

Danone sells bottles made of unrecycled plastic (Evian, Volvic), and too much climate-harmful produce.

 

Once they shape up, we'll target other irresponsible companies. You can suggest some. 

 

There is additional info, and an animation, at
