Dear Supporter

Urge Government to switch to green energy!

Thanks in no small part to the RSPB’s Climate Action Now campaign, the UK has the first climate change law in the world, and I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you who took part and supported us. Tackling climate change is essential to protecting millions of species of birds, animals and other wildlife from increased risk of extinction.

The new challenge

Achieving the target to reduce all greenhouse gas emissions by 80 percent by 2050 included in the new law will require big changes in Government policy. There’s no time to lose in making this shift, which is why the RSPB now needs your support to campaign for wise energy policies.

The Government’s own advisors say the only way the UK can make the 80 percent emissions cuts is by phasing out coal power plants that cannot capture and store their emissions, and by making a huge investment in renewable energy.

The RSPB is calling on Ed Miliband MP, Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, to take this advice and say ‘No!’ to proposals for new coal-fired power stations that do not have the ability to capture and store the carbon emissions they produce – like that proposed for Kingsnorth in Kent – and to say ‘Yes!’ to renewable energy.

More information can be found by visiting our website.

Take action

Please take the time to support our campaign once more by participating in our online action and e-mailing Mr Miliband.

Act now and be a voice for nature.

Thank you for your support

Ruth Davis

Head of Climate Change
