GREENPEACE

Victory!
The toxic tide of e-waste will be lessened now that electronics giant Philips has agreed to begin to take responsibility for recycling its own products. The more toxic components there are in a product the more costly it is to recycle. Now Philips will have the ultimate incentive to create less toxic products: saving money!Thanks to your support and the hard work of Greenpeace campaigners the pressure has paid off in a big victory towards the elimination of toxic e-waste.
Electrabel: Liar, liar, pants on fire
Energy provider Electrabel is a green company.Energy provider Electrabel invests in coal and nuclear and then calls itself green.Can you spot the lie? Greenpeace Belgium has, and is very generously correcting Electrabel's misunderstanding of the word 'green'.When it comes to green energy we need the real thing. You have the power to inform yourself and take action with Greenpeace Belgium's You've Got the Power (in Dutch and French).
What does Tata have against the turtle?
Indian car manufacturer Tata is considering the construction of a large port on the nesting site of the endangered Olive Ridley sea turtle. Kindly ask Tata to get out of the turtles' backyard by e-mailing the construction company, Dredging International, responsible for building the port. Tah-Tah Tata.
More Victory!
Yes, there's more! Greece has Quit Coal! Coal will no longer be part of Greece's energy future, and on top of this, the government is also no longer considering nuclear. Instead Greece will be promoting renewable energy and energy efficiency in its Long-Term Energy Plan. Greece has set the example for the rest of the world to follow by beginning an Energy [R]Evolution.
'Arrest me!' Say Greenpeace supporters
All over the world, in Russia, Japan, Greece, New Zealand, America and elsewhere, Greenpeace supporters stood in solidarity with Japanese Greenpeace activists Junichi and Toru as they faced their first formal court hearing, in a politically-driven trial related to their exposure of scandal in the whaling industry. During peaceful demonstrations in front of Japanese embassies and consulates Greenpeace supporters asked for Justice for Whales, Justice for Greenpeace.
