This is one of the most important things we can do and encourage others to do in this climate crisis.

Our biggest personal action is to switch to a green energy company, and there is plenty of advice on the internet about which companies to choose.

But how can we influence the big companies who are still investing £M in coal, oil and gas – we can sign petitions, write letters and take more militant actions. A good start would be to add your signature to this Rainforest Action Network letter.

Rainforest Action Network is an US based organisation, but they have been taking action all over the world for many years. Read about what they do on the RAN website.

They say they are committed to doing what is necessary, not only what is considered politically feasible, to preserve rainforests, protect the climate, and uphold human rights.
