• On yer bike, Shell!

    🚴‍♀️🛢️🚴 Demo against Shell's Greenwashing Sponsorship of British Cycling 🚴‍♀️🛢️🚴

    📆 Saturday, 15 October 2022, 12.00pm

    📍 Shell Centre, Waterloo, London SE1 7PE (Next to the London Eye)

    📢 Optional: Bring you bicycle or hire a bike, as we may do some angry cycling around the Shell HQ. (There's a big Boris Bike stand right next to it.)

    ✨ British Cycling announced a major 8-year partnership with fossil fuel giant Shell. It has already faced widespread condemnation from cycling and environmental groups. Join us for our demo to tell Shell that we see through their shameful Greenwashing attempt and to pull out from the sponsorship.

  • Surely it's about quantities and impact? Yes, it takes some resources and energy to produce bikes and phones and clothes but their environmental and humanitarian impact is nothing compared to what oil companies profit from. The real point tho is that BC (and every pro cyclist sporting the shell logo) is greenwashing a very dirty company, as @Eejit pointed out so eloquently.
