Protest against ‘greenwashing’ sponsor at London Science Museum rally
[ad_1]
London’s Science Museum faced protests over its new Adani-sponsored gallery, accused of greenwashing the conglomerate’s ties to coal mining and arms manufacture. The gallery, focused on renewable energy, sparked backlash due to Adani’s controversial activities. Trustee resignations and public outcry have marred the museum’s decision to partner with Adani, known for displacing indigenous communities and ties to weaponry production. The protests highlight growing opposition to fossil fuel sponsorship in cultural institutions. The museum’s defense of the sponsorship has been met with criticism from scientists and activists. Similar protests at the British Museum demonstrate a larger trend of public outrage over partnerships with controversial corporations in the energy sector.
