An important Public Service Announcement from Your Government and The Biotech Industry (represented here by chemical giant Bayer) pronouncing the benefits of Genetically Modified Rice strain – LL62. Barely tried and barely tested this GE Rice is coming to your dinner plate nevertheless!
This Earth Day, help us turn 3 million people into climate activists: starting with you:
Greenpeace Australia Pacific’s gorgeous Origami Whales campaign is currently top of its category in the 2009 Webby Awards. The Webbies, in case you don’t know, are like the Oscars of the Internet. There’s the judges awards – but also the People’s Awards, which means YOU get to vote!

Everyone loves the forests … but you might be surprised to know just how far some people are willing to go. Greenpeace International have just released a rather raunchy spoof of a video put out by the European Commission.
To get you up to speed, the European Commission has recently delayed a vital vote on protecting forests from illegal logging till September. The forest campaign team up in Amsterdam have been thinking about what we could do to make sure the commissioners don’t forget about it during their summer holidays when Tom spotted a video on youtube made by the Commission with 7 millions views! Perfect for spoofing.
Two Greenpeace activists expose an embezzlement scandal involving whale meat which is costing Japanese taxpayers millions of yen. Forty cops swoop down on the Greenpeace offices to arrest the Greenpeace activists instead of the criminals.
A global storm follows: hundreds of thousand of supporters write to the Japanese government. Diplomatic protests are lodged by whale-friendly governments. Vigils and demonstrations are held outside Japanese embassies worldwide.
You can free them in whale break!
Junichi Sato is not only a whale activist in Japan (and there ain’t many people who can put THAT on their business card), he’s also a blogger. And he’s been arrested for the crime of exposing the truth
We’re asking bloggers around the world to blog this story in solidarity with Junichi and blog him out of jail! Read more »
