A restaurant chain will stop selling single-use bottles of water to reduce waste.

US citizens: call on your congresscritter to vote against HR 2647, a bill to allow too much logging in federal forests.

US citizens: call on CVS to stop selling Antarctic krill oil. The catch of Antarctic krill is not sustainable.

The UK's right-wing government is rushing to end support for wind turbines, which will cancel many planned projects.

This was probably inevitable — they were endangering the profits of fossil fuel companies, to which the UK's current government reports.

It will also assure that the UK fails to meet its carbon emission targets, which those companies don't want to meet. (Those targets are too weak, so meeting them is not enough anyway.)

This makes an interesting contrast with the government's stance on fracking. Lots of Britons want to block fracking locally, since it could poison their water, but the government has denied landowners the power to veto fracking under their land.

The government minimizes the danger of fracking and exaggerates the inconvenience of wind turbines. How strange — but it makes sense if we assume that the government is looking for excuses to boost the profits of fossil fuel companies.
