The war on Iran exposed a brutal truth: when fossil fuel supply chains break, people pay more for essentials while oil, gas and petrochemical giants cash in. It’s time to end fossil fuel dependence and turn off the plastic tap with a strong Global #PlasticsTreaty.

Six ways the war on Iran exposed the real cost of plastics - Greenpeace International
The war on Iran exposed plastics’ dependence on volatile fossil fuel supply chains, driving up costs for everyday goods. A strong Global Plastics Treaty can help build a more stable, resilient future.

Thames Water is putting on a big PR effort right now to convince the public that it is very difficult to bring Thames Water into public ownership We've prepared a briefing for MPs to explain EXACTLY how Thames can be taken into public ownership Send it to your MP now: vist.ly/5fth8
"“If water companies cannot invest without raising our bills, they should be allowed to go bust and then taken into public ownership. The public has had enough of the rising bills, service cuts, hosepipe bans and sewage dumping. It is time for water to be taken into public ownership like 90% of the world.”
