In case you've not seen it yet, there's a petition to Parliament going round here in the UK asking for a ban on advertising fossil fuels and sponsorship by such companies.
I'm old enough when Formula 1 cars and stadia were emblazoned with tobacco advertising. Banning that was part of an effective strategy.
As storm Darragh ploughs its way across the UK - with government warnings not to travel and be careful - this might be a good time to think about signing. https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/700024
