SWEDISH CAMPAIGN- AMAZING FIRST WEEK
Hi All
We are absolutely delighted with how the campaign to stop Vattenfall is gaining traction in Sweden. Their plans which threaten the Clashindarroch wildcats are now being exposed in their home country. There is widespread condemnation with people commenting on the shame this is bringing to Sweden. Vattenfall is also a major energy provider in Sweden and people are now switching energy providers because of this. They are losing customers and the pressure is building.
Kattjouren the largest cat welfare group, Misha Istratov who is an environmental campaigner and Natrusidan which is the largest wildlife website in Sweden, are all exposing Vattenfall’s plans. Their own citizens are now writing to them to stop. They must have been inundated with letters because they rushed out a response which is blatant greenwashing. Crucially and for the first time, the Swedish media are now writing about this. A huge thanks to the Nordic Times for covering this story so well. All this has all happened in the first week of our campaigning in Sweden. The momentum and pressure will build and build. Surely Vattenfall will realise that the collateral damage that is growing all the time, is just too much for the sake of 14 wind turbines in Scotland, that could be placed on literally hundreds of alternative sites.
Either way, we won’t stop until the Clashindarroch wildcats are safe.
