We were at the Stockbridge Market last Sunday with a Greenpeace stall for Fossil Fools’ Day!

It seems clear that VW is being a Fossil Fool as it has been lobbying against climate laws in Europe which would make cars more efficient and help the environment, so we spent the day at the market talking to the public about VW's shocking behaviour and encouraging them to sign petition cards to go to VW staff in the UK.

In addition to this serious campaign message, we had some more light-hearted activities going on during the day, including face painting (done most expertly by Anna!) and a little entertainment from Sam's excellent guitar playing.

In the end we collected 119 sign ups to the campaign, and overall had a generally enjoyable day.
