Open thread: Call out for your ideas to help Free the Arctic 30

Posted by Nic S - 30 September 2013 at 5:23pm - Comments

Together, we are strong.

As of yesterday, all 30 of the men and women who were aboard the Arctic Sunrise are being detained for two months in Russian jail, without charge. We must not let such blatant intimidation succeed. With the combined support of 4 million of us, who all want to see the Arctic protected, there is nothing we can’t do. Now is the time for creative action. Please add your suggestions and ideas on what we can do together to the comments below. I will read every one of them.

Rare white humpback whale filmed in the Arctic

Posted by Nic S - 20 November 2012 at 7:38pm - Comments

The whale, dubbed "Willow", was caught on camera while breaching the surface with a pod of humpbacks. The extremely rare white humpback was spotted on a boat trip off the coast of Svalbard, Norway, in the pristine waters of the Arctic Circle. Willow resembles the mythical white whale, Moby Dick.

Hi Greenpeace. What do you need this money for?

Posted by Nic S - 21 September 2012 at 3:53pm - Comments

The Arctic is in a state of crisis. We have put out an urgent call for financial support. But what will we do with £100,000? One of our supporters took the time to ask us on facebook. And I’d like to take the time to fully respond.

Today, the world calls Shell

Posted by Nic S - 20 July 2012 at 11:02am - Comments

Oh to be a fly on the wall of a Shell boardroom this week! Activists all round the world have been taking action to #TellShell to get out of the Arctic. Despite Greenpeace Netherlands taking over Shell’s headquarters, Greenpeace UK activists shutting down 78 of the company’s petrol stations, Greenpeace France and Mexico occupying their offices, petrol station actions in Denmark, Finland, Hungary and the Czech Republic and Greenpeace Argentina sending 35 climbers to shut down its refinery outside of Argentina, Shell still hasn’t got the message.

78 Shell shutdowns, 24 arrests, 4 in custody, and 1 birthday in jail

Posted by Nic S - 17 July 2012 at 3:57pm - Comments

Yesterday, we took action. We closed 78 petrol Shell stations in London and Edinburgh to protest against Shells mission to drill for oil in the Arctic. We broadcast the action live from the ground, on the world’s first live direct action TV channel (we think), which ran for 12 hours, watched by over 14,000 people around the world. This happened as part of Greenpeace UK's contribution to the Greenpeace global week of action happening all around the world to save the Arctic.

Live: mass closure of Shell petrol stations in London and Edinburgh

Posted by Nic S - 16 July 2012 at 7:08am - Comments

Oil spill prevention unit out in force in London today to #tellshell not to destroy the Arctic

It's action stations at the petrol stations. Right now, teams of Greenpeace volunteers are shutting Shell forecourts across London and Edinburgh. The teams are fanning out across the two cities, going station to station shutting down the pumps. In total, over 100 forecourts will be out of action, and it's all because Shell has a fleet of vessels on its way to the Arctic where they'll be drilling for oil in the next few weeks.
