Actors Emma Thompson and her sister Sophie take peaceful direct action against the government's plans for fracking
To say 2016 has been eventful would be an understatement - the political upheaval brought about by Brexit in the UK and the new president-elect in the United States, not to mention the ongoing conflict in Syria, are just a part of an overall tumultuous year.

Subject: Diesel Free London
Dear Mayor Sadiq Khan,
2016 has been a year full of air pollution lowlights. The UK has the second
highest number of premature deaths in Europe owing to bad air quality. London
has suffered multiple high air pollution episodes. And the national government
has been defeated in the high court for failure to deal with air quality
issues. There has never been a more urgent time to take action.

It’s fair to say that here at Greenpeace we are not reacting well to the words ‘President-elect Donald Trump.’ Not only do we fear for all the people Donald Trump has threatened and ridiculed over the last few months, we fear he might destroy the very planet under our feet.

With the ebb and flow of the tides, thousands of miles of coastline around the UK testify to the devastation that plastic pollution is having on the marine environment. The oceans are at their choking point, for every mile of beach surveyed there are 159 plastic bottles found washed up.

Plastic pollution on a beach in Orkney
A truckload of plastic waste enters our oceans every minute.
When I first heard this statistic I couldn’t believe it. But the evidence is all around us - from tiny microbeads in our toothpaste to images of seabirds with stomachs full of plastic. Plastic pollution is out of control.

Today, the largest marine protected area in the world was created in the Ross Sea, off the coast of Antarctica. This is a HUGE victory for the whales, penguins, and toothfish that live there and for the millions of people standing up to protect our oceans.

1. A new runway will fuel climate change
This month the world ratified the most ambitious climate agreement ever. The Paris agreement couldn’t come soon enough- 2016 was the hottest year on record and the Arctic sea ice reached the second lowest minimum ever.
