You'd struggle to make this up.

Moments ago, our activists dropped a huge banner at the Frankfurt motor show - the biggest in the world - to highlight VW's hypocrisy over its environmental policy (more info here).

Then something spectacular happened.

Today our climbers scaled VW’s headquarters in Germany while other activists projected a massive message onto the side of London’s Battersea power station – where Volkswagen is participating in a green car show.

Our actions kick off a new phase in our VW campaign – we will not let the car giant’s lobbying continue to threaten our planet.

Since we launched our campaign to turn VW away from the Dark Side the response has been phenomenal. Over a quarter of a million people have joined the Rebellion and a huge proportion – over 40,000 of them – are Volkswagen drivers.

VW’s official response so far has been to act ‘surprised’ and point to their most efficient cars as proof of their environmental credentials.

A little over two weeks ago, we launched our VW campaign with our spoof video of the company’s Darth Vader advert.

It instantly went viral, becoming the most shared ‘ad’ worldwide (see pic on the right).
