Petition: Ban fossil fuel advertising and sponsorship

Advertisements encourage the use of products and sponsorship promotes a positive reputation & creates a social licence of trust & acceptability. In 2003 a ban on all tobacco advertising was introduced and has arguably worked. I believe continued fossil fuel usage will kill more people than smoking.

Besides the lousy optics of using a private jet to fly to a green jobs event, and boasting about doing a bit of greenwashing, and rubbing the noses of us common bogs who wouldn't have access to a private jet and would have to get from Wales to Scotland the hard way, why on earth did somebody put together a schedule requiring that journey in the first place and why did he OK it?

I really hope they are..

"It’s been clear during party conference season that the UK is about to enter an unprecedented #culturewar on #climate. At the #Labour conference, the question has been: is the party up to the fight?"
