PFAS pollution is poisoning our waters - and our fish.
Data from 7 EU countries shows wild fish often exceed safety limits, sometimes by 100s or even 1000s of times. This threatens not just ecosystems, but also seafood & drinking water.

We need a completely new vision to rally around.
Please spread this far and wide, as stories don't get much bigger than this. When the government blocks even the intelligence services from telling us we're heading for environmental catastrophe, you know we have a problem. A very big problem.

SHOCKING 🚨: Rosebank's majority owner, Equinor, made almost $30 billion last year - and paid zero tax to the UK.
This is exactly how the fossil fuel industry works. Communities and the climate are treated as expendable, while profit is protected at all costs.

If the Government can quietly redefine a controversial private industry as 'national infrastructure' to suppress protest, what comes next?
This is hideously wrong on so many levels. It's in order to clamp down on protest against animal testing and it must be stopped.
