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...

I’m campaigning for a ban on fossil fuel ads in the UK , for too long these fossil fuel giants have had unlimited spending power to greenwash their filthy reputations for politicians and the public .

Please sign my Gov petition - thank you
