EnglishHow to Stay Updated with Friends of the Earth UK Campaigns
Updated
You can stay updated with Friends of the Earth UK campaigns by signing up for its email news list. The sign-up form on its website asks for your first name, last name, and email address. The site says subscribers receive updates on campaigns and ways to get involved, including whether they can help with a donation. You can also follow campaign news through the organisation's website and join one of its more than 200 local action groups.
Signing Up for Campaign Emails
The newsletter sign-up appears on the Friends of the Earth homepage under the heading "Never miss a thing..." The form asks for:
- First name
- Last name
- Email address
The site describes the updates as covering "our campaigns and how you can get involved, including whether you can help with a donation." That means the email list is the main channel for campaign news and participation opportunities, and donation requests may be included in those messages.
The form includes a "Leave this field blank" field, which is a standard spam-prevention measure. Leave it empty when you sign up.
What to Expect After Subscribing
Based on the site's description, subscribers can expect:
- News about current campaigns
- Information on how to get involved
- Occasional mentions of donation opportunities
The site does not state how often emails are sent, so treat frequency as unknown until you receive them. You can unsubscribe using the link included in any email the organisation sends.
Following Campaigns Without Subscribing
If you prefer not to share your email, the Friends of the Earth website lists current campaigns directly. The homepage highlights several active areas:
| Campaign area | What the site says |
|---|---|
| Fossil fuels | Opposing new oil, gas, and coal projects, including the Jackdaw North Sea gas field |
| Airport expansion | A petition demanding no more airport expansion during a climate emergency |
| Data centres | A petition calling for limits on data centre expansion until there is a clear plan |
| Water pollution | Campaigning for polluters to clean up their act |
| Heathrow expansion | A piece arguing against expansion using the government's own figures |
Each campaign page includes a "Sign petition" or "Find out more" link, so you can act on a specific issue without joining the email list.
Joining a Local Action Group
Friends of the Earth England, Wales and Northern Ireland says it has more than 200 local action groups. The homepage includes a "Join a group near you" link. Local groups are a way to get campaign updates and take part in activities in your area. The site does not list group meeting times or membership requirements on the homepage, so use the group-finder link to see what is available near you.
Taking Action from Home
The site also offers a "Make a difference from your sofa" section, which points to online actions such as signing petitions. This is the lowest-commitment way to stay involved: you can check the campaign pages periodically and add your name to petitions that matter to you.
Choosing the Right Level of Involvement
- Just want updates: Sign up for the email list with your name and email.
- Want to act on specific issues: Use the campaign pages and petitions on the website.
- Want local involvement: Use the "Join a group near you" link to find a local action group.
- Want to support financially: The email sign-up mentions donation as an option; the site does not publish membership fees or payment details on the homepage, so check the donation pages for current information.
The site does not state whether email sign-up requires a donation or payment. Treat the news list as a free sign-up unless the form itself indicates otherwise.
