Say no to Trident

Wasting £97bn on new nuclear missiles just doesn't make sense.

Essential public services are being cut, along with crucial programmes to secure clean, safe energy to power our homes and businesses. But the easiest cut of all – cutting out plans to build new nuclear weapons – is being ignored by our politicians.

Work for peace and disarmament

40 years ago the international community got together and agreed to work towards eliminating nuclear weapons. But these terrifying weapons of mass destruction are still with us. Greenpeace believes that it’s time for the nine nuclear countries - including Britain - to start serious negotiations to reduce and eventually eliminate their nuclear arsenals, and focus instead on the real challenge facing the world - building a safer, greener future for us all.
