Climate Action Ilkley believes in taking community wide action as well as influencing structural change to face the Climate Emergency.
The Big Ilkley Bank Switch campaign is about doing both!
What we know:
- The use of fossil fuels is changing our climate and contributing to the climate emergency.
- Most High Street banks in the UK fund fossil fuels.
What we want:
- To accelerate a just transition towards a fossil free future.
- To encourage banks to invest in sustainable projects, not fossil fuel industries.
What we can do:
- A coordinated community switch to fossil free banks.
- Tell the banks why we’ve switched.
- Ask Ilkley Town Council and Bradford MDC to commit to fossil free banking.
Many people don’t realise that most banks in the UK invest in fossil fuel industries.
Switching to a climate friendly bank is a simple action (more simple than you would imagine) that can contribute to building a zero carbon future.
By switching together as a community we amplify the impact of our actions towards a fossil free future.
