To General Electric CEO John Flannery:

As citizens from America and across the world, we call on you to reconsider investing in East Africa's first coal plant, which could wreak havoc on a fragile ecosystem, destroy a historic community’s way of life, and threaten Kenya’s climate change pledges. The project is incompatible with your mission to make the world work better and cleaner. We urge you to support carbon policies that reduce emissions and invest in the use of renewables instead of fossil fuels.

General Electric: Don't poison paradise!
A mega US corporation could be about to greenlight a monstrous coal plant in one of the world’s most iconic places, damaging an entire community’s way of life, destroying vital mangrove forests, and polluting fragile coral reefs. But, we can stop it!

General Electric plans to buy a $400 million stake in a toxic coal plant that is set to belch out fumes miles from a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Lamu, Kenya. But, 56 investors with $713 billion in assets have just called on GE to pull out of this crazy plan -- and it sounds like they are reconsidering! Insiders say if they pull out, Lamu could be saved from this toxic nightmare!

Let’s ramp up the pressure on General Electric right now by throwing their CEO John Flannery into the public spotlight and urging him to back away from this dirty deal. Sign now -- when we reach 1 million, Avaazers will deliver our signatures to General Electric's HQ and tell them to stop dumping coal abroad!
