And together we've planted over 150,000 trees. One tree is planted for every climate review written to an organization that is Open for Climate Dialogue™.
How does this work?

This move reflects the ongoing debate over the ethics of cultural institutions accepting funding from industries linked to environmental harm. As the climate crisis intensifies, public scrutiny of such alliances is likely to increase, and institutions may face growing pressure to align their sponsorship choices with sustainability and environmental responsibility.

This is not right ... They should request for funding from companies supporting green energy ...

The British Museum's sponsorship deal with BP may prompt a broader discussion about the ethical considerations of funding sources.

@rosebellendiritu I agree, this is being ignorant of the fact that there is a problem in such deals. Choosing money over people's interests is selfish.

I'm sorry but no amount of money gained will do the living any good on a dying planet! Ignorance is no excuse for lack of common sense.
