Thank you again for your support on the Palm Oil campaign

A victory of civil society. It’s your victory.

Last spring, thanks to your support, the European Commission finally decided that palm oil is not a green fuel and should not be promoted as it causes deforestation. As a result, the use of palm oil in diesel will be gradually reduced as of 2023 to disappear from biodiesel in 2030.

This should offer much needed relief to the world’s wildlife and forests.

Despite this great victory the fight for nature and a clean economy is far from being won...

Producers of so-called 'green' fuels, together with the largest polluters on this planet (oil, pesticides, airlines, plastics, etc), are still thriving because they have access to unlimited funds in financial markets.
Believe it or not, given the lack of international standards, polluters are labelled as 'sustainable' by financial players so that their shares and bonds end up in most 'sustainable/green' funds.

The EU is trying to stop this fake-green-funds scandal with a new law that is being discussed NOW.

Join the campaign for a law that builds a truly green economy!

Will the EU achieve a greener and more sustainable economy?

Despite its intimidating name, the Taxonomy Regulation is nothing more than the European attempt to stop greenwashing in the financial sector. Now palm oil is at risk of being labelled as a 'green biofuel' by the EU.

Uber and Lyft increase pollution and undermine public transport, study shows.

Despite our efforts to clean the air of our congested cities and preserve our health we have evidence that traffic and congestion are on the rise. One of the reasons is new 'taxi companies' such as Uber.

Ride hailing companies like Uber and Lyft may be adding to congestion, emissions, and harming public transport, according to a new American study.
