making millions from climate CRISIS

Burning Christmas tree
'Tis the season to sing carols and watch TV ads for buying SUVs and jetting abroad. 

With the climate emergency accelerating and causing catastrophic impacts all around the world, advertisers still make millions from making it worse. At the very least, such ads should carry a strong ‘health warning’. Whether on TV, in newspapers, on hoardings or anywhere. Just like tobacco ads before these were banned. 

So, we have a new campaign flatpack for you this month: #DontSellClimateHell. It focuses on a (literally) burning issue, but we hope you’ll have some fun with it too! 

The Green Party’s conference in October passed a motion, brought by Caroline Lucas, that calls for a ban on the advertising of carbon-intensive products that do extreme damage to the climate, such as airline flights and gas-guzzling SUVs.

Our campaign pack gives you resources to draw attention to this issue and put pressure on MPs and the Advertising Standards Agency to change the rules. There are easy actions you can take now. Great, too, if you're short of ideas for party games!

And you can already change things at local level:

Green Councillors in Hackney recently brought a successful motion aimed at stopping Hackney Council from accepting advertising that contradicts its own Climate Action Plan.


Cambridgeshire, Basingstoke and Coventry councils have all passed similar motions this year. We show you how you could do the same.

We’ll have more for you in the new year – and we’re already working with Green parliamentarians on  a campaign against the government’s cruel and illegal Rwanda Bill.

Meanwhile, sing whatever songs take your fancy, email those advertisers, and have a very happy and Green festive season!
