Scottish Gov ministers have an open door policy for oil company lobbyists.

The SNP is calling for lower taxes on firms making billions whilst 1/3 Scottish homes are in fuel poverty.

This lobbying has got even worse since the Glasgow climate conference COP26.

Oil and gas representatives have held more than 300 meetings with SNP ministers since November 2021 climate summit, a Sunday Mail probe found.

The Scottish Government shamefully delayed their landfill ban for the second time last week.

Our senior circular economy campaigner, Kim Pratt, has written about this, outlining why we need a radical rethink on waste policy that actually improves people's lives:

It's time to fix our broken waste system for good

The Scottish Government's new climate plan is dreadful.

Ministers have decided not to help people who are struggling to pay their energy bills, communities cut off by unreliable buses, or oil workers worried about their future.

There's a risk that Scot Gov's new climate plan will be a lobbyist's wishlist of carbon capture, hydrogen nonsense & costly electric cars. 🙄

But done properly, it could cut pollution & improve lives. @sccscot.bsky.social explains what should be in it 👇
