I just signed this Greenpeace petition to stop supermarkets flooding us with throwaway plastic. Supermarkets have broken their plastic promises — and without pressure, they won’t change. It’s time for the government to step in. Add your name: act.gp/42K7pZy
Sign the petition
If you agree UK supermarkets must do better on plastics

There's only one good reason why you would stop humanitarian aid getting to penned in people - poverty through starvation, thirst, poor medication for the sick (are a few examples). When the hospitals are all in total ruin, it doesn't help either. Why must leaders continue to punish innocents #gaza

Basically, they argue for total boycotts of a select few companies that are very actively working with Israel's military, and support less intense pressure campaigns against other companies that aren't feasible to fully boycott (like Amazon or Google)
