If you've been a visitor here since our re-launch earlier this year one of the most obvious changes you'll have noticed is the amount of streaming videos posted around the site courtesy of YouTube. You may have gone so far as to visit our YouTube site, which aggregates videos from Greenpeace offices around the world and categorises them by campaign: climate, forests, oceans and so on.
One place you may not have looked, though, is in the Groups section. This is the place to look for material related to our campaigns, but not directly produced by us. Right now it's packed with interesting, enlightening and (mostly) encouraging stuff: the Renewable Energy group alone has over 200 videos showcasing alternative energy technologies, ideas and debates. Watch a wave energy converter at work, or learn about the fuelless engine, the wind-powered radio and the solar-powered car.
Or brush up on marine biology at Reef Check, a group focused on the sealife found in and around coral reefs. There are some wonderful vids here - featuring close-ups of big squid, rays, megamouth sharks and my personal favourite, the 'fried egg' jellyfish.
The Sustainability Channel has over 30 videos to inspire you to be more self-reliant in how you live, covering topics like food, energy, and housing. You'll find a few good 'how to' videos here. And you should also check out the Greenpeace Students Network, which has nearly 100 videos themed around fighting environmental crimes using grassroots power.
We've already subscribed to a dozen or more groups and more are being added regularly. And we're happy to take suggestions about other groups or channels which you think we should be subscribing to - add your comment at the bottom of this blog or email us at webteam@uk.greenpeace.org
