Greenwash Guerrillas (6 foto's)
What happens when a dirty energy utility pretends to care about climate change? Well, the Greenwash Guerillas declare open season on the toxic company and set about informing the public that they are being greenwashed. This morning, I joined them outside the E.ON sponsored Guardian Climate Change Summit at the Business Design Centre in London. Read More: http://www.greenpeace.org.uk/blog/cl...

Paper plane Flashmob (12 foto's)
The government wasn't listening when we said NO to Heathrow's third runway. So this morning, we flashmobbed the Department of Transport and launched paper planes saying ‘NO AIRPORT EXPANSION' at transport secretary Ruth Kelly's office.

Big NO (3 foto's)
The Make a NOise Carnival on Saturday saw thousands of people gather to oppose the building of a 3rd runway at Heathrow airport. Forming a human chain to spell out ‘NO’ to Heathrow expansion, they sent a clear message to the government’s plans that was large enough to be seen by planes overhead. The proposed 3rd runway will add an extra 900 flights a day which will make it impossible for us to hit our climate change targets. Also, the population of the entire village of Sipson would be displaced by the expansion leading to the bulldozing of 750 homes.

Orangutans swing into action against Dove (10 foto's)
Greenpeace volunteers (many of them dressed as orang-utans) have overrun Unilever's HQ in London and production lines ay factory near Liverpool because the company who make of Dove products is buying palm oil from companies that are destroying rainforest and peatland areas in Indonesia. This is bad news not only for the millions of people who depend on them for their way of life and endangered species such as the orang-utan, but also for our climate.

No 3rd Runway (5 foto's)
Climate campaigners climbed on top of a Manchester to London plane parked at Heathrow Airport’s Terminal One. They covered the tailfin with a huge protest banner that read “CLIMATE EMERGENCY – NO 3rd RUNWAY”. The Greenpeace volunteers – two women and two men – waited until all the passengers had disembarked from the one hour flight before walking through double doors at Terminal One, crossing an area of tarmac and climbing stairs onto the fuselage of the British Airways flight. Our protester, Anna Jones, said: "Our planet and the people who live on it are in danger. Climate change can be beaten but not by almost doubling the size of the airport. We are here to draw a line in the sand and tell Gordon Brown his new runway must not and will not be built."
