We are in the midst of a plastic crisis. Plastic pollutes at every stage of its lifecycle from when the oil and gas is extracted to produce it, to the end products that litter our streets, pollute our beaches and harm our wildlife. Single-use disposable plastic items are a symbol of our throwaway culture.
As we rebuild from coronavirus, we have a chance to transform our society for the better.
The climate is in crisis. Our planet has had enough. The children are on strike. We can’t keep on extracting and burning fossil fuels like there’s no tomorrow. It is time to start planning for a fossil-free future.
In 2020 we’re asking our MSPs to divest Scotland from fossil fuels.
The breakdown of our climate threatens millions of peoples lives, and this won’t change until we stop extracting and burning fossil fuels.
Climate change is the greatest threat to our shared home. But the Strathclyde Pension Fund in Glasgow is still investing hundreds of millions in the fossil fuel companies driving climate breakdown.
Can you go without single-use plastics for one day?
Scottish Council Pension Funds invest more than £1.8billion in fossil fuels. The climate crisis means it is time to divest.
