Another blow for Shell sponsorship in the Netherlands
Fro our friends at Fossil Free NL:
'After a long history of cultural sponsorship that started in 1931, Shell and NEMO Science Museum have quietly ended their partnership during lockdown. A cultural sector fully liberated from the fossil fuel industry is now within reach in Amsterdam.
We celebrate the end of Shell’s current partnership with NEMO and call for a commitment to rule out future fossil fuel partnerships. Let’s remember what we can’t accept.

Pledge to join the boycott of the Science Museum's climate exhibition
From our friends at UKSCN:
The Science Museum's new climate exhibition, Our Future Planet, is being sponsored by one of the world's biggest polluters: oil giant Shell. This is unacceptable.
We've signed petitions and sent open letters calling on them to drop Shell, but so far there's been no reply.
But if thousands of us pledge to boycott this upcoming exhibition, it will show the Science Museum the consequences of their decision to partner with a polluter like Shell.'
