We still own 84% of RBS…and they’re still investing heavily in fossil fuel projects around the world, damaging the planet and human rights at the same time. We’re going to raise some more awareness amongst the good people of Glasgow and noise up RBS a bit in the process. Come and join us

12-1pm, Tuesday 7th December, outside RBS, Sauchiehall Street

Let them know that you want a Royal Bank of Sustainability, not the Royal Bank of Shame!

What would you invest in? Our government has given £45billion to RBS – not far off the GDP of Iraq. Much of this is now being invested by RBS in projects which are harmful to both people and planet.

This interactive event will put you in charge to re-imagine how the money could be spent.

Tuesday 12 October, 6-30-8:30pm, Renfield St Stephens, 250 Bath Street

The climate camp will be in or near Edinburgh this year, 21-24 August, and it’s going to be targeting the ‘oil and gas bank’, the Royal Bank of Scotland. It’s a great chance to share skills, create a positive vision for social change and turn up the pressure on public investment in coal, oil, gas and tar sands via RBS.

And there’s a gathering this weekend in Glasgow to do some final planning :
