Hi Manfred – I've got an important campaign update for you:


Hi Manfred – I've got an important campaign update for you:

We're trying to get a meeting with the Director of Volkswagen UK so we can press him to finally set a diesel phase out date – but he keeps dodging our requests.

If we all publicly call on the Director of VW UK to meet with us, it will be much harder for him to refuse. So if you've got a spare second, please sign the petition.


So far, 120,000 of us have called on VW to ditch diesel because it's making our air dangerous to breathe (thanks a tonne for being part of this campaign). [1] But the car giant still hasn't responded.

The longer VW hold on to diesel, the longer our health will be put at risk – so it's time to take a more direct approach.

If we can sit down with the Director of VW UK, there are two important things we can do. (1) We can bring our concerns about the health impacts of diesel straight to the top of the company and (2) we can press him to set a diesel phase out date.

Please sign the petition and call on the Director of VW UK to meet with Greenpeace (it takes just one minute).


Thanks for taking the time to do this. I'll definitely keep you updated on how it all goes.

Philip,
Air Pollution Team, Greenpeace UK

Hi,

We need Volkswagen to ditch diesel if we want to breathe clean, safe air.

So I’ve just signed this petition and called on the Director of VW UK to meet with Greenpeace so they can press him to set a diesel phase out date.

The more people who call for the meeting, the harder it will be to refuse. So if you’ve got a second, could you add your name too >> https://secure.greenpeace.org.uk/vw-director-meet-gp-email-share

Diesel is really harmful to human health and doctors are telling us to get it off our roads.

Big car companies like Fiat Chrysler are doing the right thing and ditching diesel. But VW, who make more diesel cars than anyone else, have so far tried to avoid the issue.

They can’t avoid it when they’re face to face with Greenpeace though. So please sign the petition >> https://secure.greenpeace.org.uk/vw-director-meet-gp-email-share

Thanks for being part of this.
