On Friday 24th March, UK Divest is holding a day of action to push councils all over the UK to divest their pension funds from the fossil fuel industry. Argyll & Bute Council is a member of the Strathclyde Pension Fund, which invests around £836 million in big polluters like BP and Shell.
The good news is it doesn’t have to be this way. Instead of our pension funds contributing to climate change, they can be a key part of the solution.
You can join members of Time for Change Argyll & Bute throughout March in writing postcards to our local councillors, urging them to push for divestment.
