From Katharine Tu, of https://www.sumofus.org/:
Alan,
In the untouched outback of Australia, a coal company is starting to dig a coal mine so big and so dirty that if completed, it will seal our fate to catastrophic climate change.
Coal giant Adani is doing everything it can to build what will be one
of the largest new coal mines in the world. It has ignored the
objections of traditional owners, scientists and conservationists, and
squeezed through every legal loophole it can.
There is hope. If we can stop Adani from getting insurance for the mine, we can stop this disastrous project in its tracks.
Which is where you come in Alan. Public pressure has already forced
dozens of global insurers to rule out insuring the Adani mine.
But multi-billion dollar insurer AIG is staying silent. That’s why we need your voice -- because if enough people like you speak up, together we can force AIG to reject Adani’s mine too.
Tell AIG to insure our future and not a climate-wrecking coal mine.
....
We’re in a race against time to stop one of the world’s biggest new
coal mines from being built before it ruins our climate forever.
There’s one thing that can stop this dirty coal mine from going ahead: insurance. Tell insurance giant AIG to insure our planet’s future and NOT Adani’s mine now.

A financial appeal to help justice defeat Nestlés bullying of a small community
I receive funding appeals that I cannot afford to dip into as someone whose income is limited to very basic UK State Pension; but with this blog, I can help spread the word about what nastiness a 'corporate giant' such as Nestlé is getting up to.
The below is from Angus Wong of petition and legal challenge fundraising website Sum Of Us:
For more background into this story, I commend:

Alan,
In just a few short weeks, a court will decide if Nestlé can keep sucking the tiny town of Osceola dry.
Local residents have been tirelessly fighting to defend their water, but Nestlé’s legal bullying has pushed this group of volunteers to the edge of bankruptcy. They could lose everything.
Can you chip in to get them to the finish line?
Donating just takes a moment – use Paypal or your card.
Yes, I'll chip in £1 to stop Nestlé's water grab.
Thanks for all that you do,
Angus and the team at SumOfUs

Even if you can't contribute to this appeal financially, you can, like me, on principle, at least consider avoiding the buying of Nestlé products.
