Using tax-payers money, RBS is helping to finance the ridiculously polluting, carbon-intensive extraction of tar sands. Thousands of lives and livelihoods are under threat from French oil giant Total’s plans to mine tar sands in Melaky, one of the poorest regions in Madagascar.
Come and hear Holly Rakotondralambo, toxic pollution & health researcher for VOARISOA Observatoire Madagascar, speak about the threats to the people and biodiversity of Madagascar from the tar sands industry.
Public talk. Boyd Orr Building, University of Glasgow, 6-8pm, 23 May, free entry

It’s that time of year again – the RBS AGM is just around the corner, so we thought we’d let them know what we think. Despite £45.5 billion of public funding, RBS is still massively supporting investments in fossil fuels, including climate-trashing tar sands in Madagascar and Canada. Come and join us in the centre of Glasgow and let them know it’s not OK to carry on as the Royal Bank of Shame.
Saturday 16th April, 11am
Outside RBS Sauchiehall Street (corner of West Nile Street)
We’ll be asking people to join our photo petition so that we can send a whole wall of objections to the RBS AGM next week
It’s estimated that Barclays could be making as much as £340m a year from speculating in food commodities. This kind
of gambling on hunger is pushing up food prices around the world and pushing people in poorer countries towards starvation, purely for profit. We’ll be doing a wee stunt in the centre of Glasgow to highlight this issue with the media and the good people of Glasgow – come and join us if you want.
Outside Barclays on Argyle Street, 10:30am, Saturday 9th April
