Postcard Action Donate Page

We are calling on the Irish Government to enforce a moratorium on data centres. Join us in sending a clear message to Ministers by donating to our campaign, and we’ll send you out a postcard pack, designed by our amazing supporters, that you can use to let them know why you support the call for a moratorium! 

Why does this matter? Data centres are already gobbling up 18% of Ireland’s electricity. This is forecast to grow to a staggering 30% by 2030 - data centres are predicted to consume almost one third of Ireland’s grid power. 
These gas and energy guzzling centres are mostly operated for private profit, with little payback for local communities in terms of jobs or resources. Ireland is already home to 25% of Europe’s data centre market - the consequences of this on our environment, our climate goals and our ability to achieve a just energy transition - are massive!

How to take part: 

• Send a donation and make sure to send us your address. Your donation helps us to cover the cost of printing and our wider work in fighting fossil fuel infrastructure in Ireland.
• As a thank you - we’ll send you a postcard pack with 3 postcards - one for each of the ministers we think has huge part to play in this debate - Coveney, O’Brien and Ryan!
• When you receive your postcards, write a short message to each of the 3 decision makers on your reasons for supporting a moratorium - and post them off! 
• If you’re stuck for what to say take a look at our handy resource on data centres here !
