Volkswagen is lobbying against environmental laws

Today our climbers scaled VW’s headquarters in Germany while other activists projected a massive message onto the side of London’s Battersea power station – where Volkswagen is participating in a green car show.

Our actions kick off a new phase in our VW campaign – we will not let the car giant’s lobbying continue to threaten our planet.

Cairn's Leiv Eriksson rig off the coast of Greenland

Earlier this month, after more than 100,000 of you asked Cairn Energy to open up its Arctic oil spill response plan to public scrutiny, the government of Greenland stepped in and published it.

The verdict is now in. Veteran marine biologist and international oil spill expert Professor Richard Steiner has completed a review of the plan and, well, it's no wonder Cairn didn't want you to see it.
