Here’s my postcard to Michael Gove #postcardsfortheplanet
So this one is about the awful decision to open a new coal mine. As host of the COP last year this is particularly galling for the UK to make this decision. It’s not needed , UK industry doesn’t want it ( it’s not suitable and they are looking at green alternatives) and it’s claim to be net zero is disingenuous ( off setting is planned but this doesn’t in any way cover emissions from extraction, export and industrial use ).
As usual if you can’t find postcards do use a plain white envelope and use the hashtag #postcardsfortheplanet with your name and email address.
Please address your postcard timed to arrive around the 16th January to
Rt Hon Michael Gove
Dept of housing , communities and local government
2 Marsham Street
London SW1P 4DF
Our message is
Stop the Cumbrian coal mine
There is no demand for the coal
It will increase carbon emissions
It damages the UK’s net zero targets and credentials
Provide green jobs not dirty fossil fuel jobs
Many, many thanks
