The Tour

Radiohead are on tour with their 8th album The Kings of Limbs. And to show their support and commitment to the campaign to Save the Arctic, they have invited Greenpeace and Paula the polar bear to go on the road with them to promote the campaign and to get as many people as possible to join in the fight to save the Arctic.

Already 2 million people worldwide have signed up to demand that the Arctic is protected from oil spills and overfishing. Radiohead have signed up and many other celebrities are supporting our campaign, too, like Sir Paul McCartney and Jarvis Cocker.

Come and see us (and Paula the Bear)

If you’re heading to any of Radiohead’s upcoming sold out gigs, come and pay us a visit and say hello to Paula the polar bear. We need as many people as possible to sign our Arctic Scroll so we can declare a sanctuary in the unclaimed area in the Arctic, safe from exploitation.

It’s been an amazing year with Radiohead

Earlier this year, we teamed up with Radiohead to create a fantastic video to help save the Arctic. The clip features the Radiohead track ‘Everything in its right place’ from their platinum-selling album Kid A, 2000. The footage in the video chronicles the life of a homeless polar bear in London, who has been forced to leave her Arctic home due to climate change.

This short film sent a powerful message to the world and has had a massive reaction worldwide getting 700,000 hits on YouTube coupled with huge interest from world media, including The Rolling Stone magazine and NME.

I hope to see you at one of the gigs!
