Hold the Government to its promise! No new oil and gas in our seas. Offshore drilling causes hundreds of toxic spills, deafens whales, and won't even lower our energy bills. It's time to stop letting Big Oil profit at the expense of our ocean. Add your name: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/st...

Stop Big Oil billionaires polluting our seas for profit
The Government must keep its promise to ban new offshore oil and gas. Drilling harms marine wildlife, causes toxic spills, and won't lower our bills. Add your name to protect our ocean!
