Together we can still stop fracking

It’s taken the industry 7 long years to frack just one well.

Because the industry has failed to take-off, the government is trying to fast track fracking across the English countryside.

We’ll keep campaigning until fracking is stopped everywhere in the UK. It already has been stopped in Scotland, Wales, & Northern Ireland because of the risks.

A lot of our clothes are shedding tiny bits of plastic when we wash them. They can end up in the sea – potentially entering the food chain.

Find out more and sign our petition to tell retailers to urgently tackle plastic pollution caused by their clothes.
