A purple, orance and green swirly background. In the middle, there is a picture of two people holding a banner that says "CISL: Leading in Greenwashing". Their faces are covered with little orcas. The text at the top of the graphic says "CAMPAIGN ANNOUNCEMENT" and below the picture it says "Sustainable Lies? CUT ALL TIES". Below that, there are two logos. One of them is the logo of ORCA, the other is the campaign logo, which also says Sustainable Lies? CUT ALL TIES.
Another page using a swirly green, orange and purple background. The ORCA and Sustainable Lies campaign logos are at the top. The text says "What is the Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership (CISL)? - An institute within the University of Cambridge - They work with companies including these ones (more on these companies later...) [this point is next to the logos of Coca-Cola, TotalEnergies, AXA, AngloAmerican and BP - They claim to be working towards a "sustainable future" Here are our reasons for targeting them:
π¨CAMPAIGN ANNOUNCEMENT!! π¨
We've given some extra attention on this page towards Cambridge Institute of Sustainability Leadership in the last week following the Nature Action Conference hosted by UNEP and Uni of Cam. But weβre not stopping at disrupting just one conferenceβ¦
#SustainableLies
Banner drop from inside Jesus College, Cambridge's West Court building β banner reads: "Cambridge sustains green colonialism"
We won't let Cambridge University #greenwash ecocide and genocide.
Oil companies like ENI, emitters like Drax, and fossil fuel & genocide funders like HSBC have no business at a climate and nature conference.
The UNEP's Nature Action Dialogue is a sham β so today we disrupted business as usual.
I'm vegan and hate this framing.
There are practical things to reduce meat consumption like community cooking courses & better efforts at making convenient veggie options available to the public. Stigmatising low cost ready to eat food associated with poor and ethnic minority people is disgusting.

Many celebrate the steadfastness of Palestinians in Gaza. For good reasons. But don't fetishise this. In the Syrian civil war, millions left because they had to and could. They were no less resilient or steadfast than people in Gaza. The main reason 90% stayed in Gaza is that there's no way out

Turquoise: "It's such an invasion of their private life!" Panel 2: The turquoise person holds up a printed image of said doctor, a green person with glasses. Turquoise: "And I mean look!

Itβs comforting to some, but rarely liberatory
Police stand before a road sign which reads "Non-Compliance May Result In Arrest"
You marched peacefully along city streets on MPs day off, home in time for TV.
They still arrested 77 assualting several in the process as peace police stood defending them.
Nothing changed.
Imagine if you marched, no idle through the city, but upon their weapons factories.

18.01.2025 11:10 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Japanese shipowner NYK has reached a deal with Eneos to buy conventional bunker fuel with attached carbon credits, or offsets. This will reduce NYK's net emissions in years to come. Under the agreement, Eneos will purchase carbon credits from 1PointFive, an initiative of Occidental Petroleum and BlackRock. Each credit represents an equivalent amount of carbon that 1PointFive removes from the atmosphere using direct air capture (DAC) technology and stores underground. Eneos will then sell the bunker fuel and the attached carbon credits to NYK. 1PointFive is building its first direct air capture plant in Ector County, Texas. It is designed to recover up to 500,000 tonnes of CO2 from the atmosphere every year, and the company says that future plant designs will be able to capture twice as much. The captured gas will be pumped into stable, secure underground geologic formations for long-term storage. Prominent clients include Airbus, Shopify and airline ANA, and the startup expects lots of demand in the decades to come. The company's first DAC plant will begin operating in 2025, and the Eneos fuel delivery contract begins in 2028. The carbon credits from Eneos are part of NYK's plan to address the last hard-to-abate elements of its carbon footprint. It will focus first on maximum energy efficiency, then on transitioning to new green fuels like ammonia and methanol (and LNG). For the remaining emissions that cannot be eliminated, NYK will buy carbon offsets to achieve net-zero. It is the two companies' second major agreement this year. In July, NYK absorbed about 80 percent of Eneos' in-house shipping fleet, including 18 LPG carriers, 19 chemical and product tankers, 12 dry bulk carriers and a ship management company in Singapore. Eneos retained its crude oil tankers.
Whatever direct air capture is meant to be, or could be, this is unambiguously what it is becoming: a fossil fuel industry run factory creating single units of greenwashing to sell to the worst emitters
