EdF energy have, after putting in a plannning application to West Somerset District Council at the end of November 2010, cyncically bought themselves platinum corporate membership of Somerset Wildlife Trust. This petition is to put pressure on the wildlife trust to take a moral position about EdF's corporate practises. For a mesely £900 pounds EdF have bought themselves a statement about corporate responsibility and the right to splash around the wildlife trust logo, as well as other perks, enabling themselves to greenwash their image. I would urge members of the trust to reconsider the postion in terms of future memebrship of the trust as EdF and SWT dont make comfortable bedfellows.

Disgusted by this. I used to be a member but this makes me reconsider everything. You guys are supposed to protect nature not sell out to the highest bidder.

This is nothing but greenwashing. Shame on the trust for letting them buy their way in. Money shouldn't talk louder than the environment.

Totally agree. They are just trying to hide their reputation behind a logo. Get them out.
