Google just illegally destroyed 250,000 trees to build a monster data centre in Finland. Sign now to demand tough laws and enforcement that put people and nature first – before another forest is destroyed: Sign now Dear friends, Just because Google is part of a trillion-dollar company doesn't mean it gets to break the law. Yet that's exactly what happened in Finland, where Google skipped environmental checks and bulldozed 250,000 trees for a giant AI data centre. The government has halted construction – and Google has apologised. But an apology won't bring back the forest. We need to prevent this from ever happening again, anywhere – so we’re joining dozens of groups rising up to demand strong laws and enforcement around data centres. Time is short: there’s a key vote in Brussels happening in just days. Add your name now to back the growing call for leaders to put people and nature first: Join now: nature, not data centres! Bulldozed forests are just the start. Data centres’ relentless noise can rob neighbours of sleep, drain precious water supplies, push up household electricity bills and burn more fossil fuels. Hungry AI companies are rushing to build more than 100 data centres in Finland – and thousands across the world – before laws and enforcement can catch up. But people everywhere are fighting back – and winning. In Ireland, residents protested three giant data centres – and the council rejected the plans. Across the US, communities have blocked or delayed billions of dollars' worth of AI projects. And dozens of groups across Europe and the UK just took to the streets demanding stronger protections. These victories show that people have the power to stand up to Big Tech. Now we can push governments to stand with them – starting with Europe. After an intense Big Tech lobby blitz, EU politicians are voting on whether to fast-track strategic projects’ like data centres at the expense of communities, water and nature – a vote that could help set the direction for data centre laws across the world. We don’t have much time before the vote: Add your name to make sure Brussels hears from people everywhere, not just Big Tech lobbyists – and demand tough laws that put people and nature first, before another forest is destroyed. Join now: nature, not data centres! No community should have to fight a trillion-dollar company alone. That's what our movement is for: bringing people together across borders to stand up to the powerful and protect the places we love.
