Leeds Geenpeace Local Network is a small but growing group of people promoting environmental sustainability and positive change through action.

Current campaign

Our international film competition launches on 17 September 2011
VW is using covert forces to oppose two key European climate laws – stronger emission targets and stronger car efficiency targets. Greenpeace volunteers are inviting the public to sign postcards to VW and to TEXT JEDI to join the campaign. They are also organising regional film screenings and outreach events to showcase the 12 shortlisted VW spoof films. Please get involved and get in touch with your local network coordinator.
