Ban Tar Sands from the EU

Message from Stop Climate Chaos:

As you may know, the EU will vote on the EU Fuel Quality Directive next week (28th Feb). This would effectively ban Tar Sands from the EU, but the UK is opposing it and is actively lobbying other countries to vote against the measure (under pressure from Canadian lobbying).

We're supporting a People & Planet action targeting Norman Baker and Nick Clegg to support this crucial legislation, and there's now a link on the SCC website. Please push this out to your supporters and help pile on as much pressure as possible over the next week!
