She’s been bombed, shot at and rammed and now she needs your help. After 21 years as a Greenpeace ship the current Rainbow Warrior is heading for retirement and Greenpeace needs your help to replace her.
That is why when our network was trying to come up with some fund raising ideas I thought it might be a nice opportunity to put my crafty skills to good use! Many hours of work (and two sore hands!) later, these five specially designed tea light holders are being auctioned on ebay to raise funds for this incredibly worth while cause.
The set includes:
- Red – illustrating the passion with which Greenpeace defends our planet.
- Yellow/Orange – representing the sunny skies over our fragile Earth.
- Green – featuring the symbol of the dove of peace which adorns the Rainbow Warrior.
- Blue – the glistening oceans that the Greenpeace fleet is charged to defend.
- Purple – represents the nobility of the causes that Greenpeace stands for.

After 21 years as a Greenpeace ship the current Rainbow Warrior is heading for retirement and Greenpeace needs your help to replace her.
The new Rainbow Warrior will be one of a kind. As the world’s first purpose-built environmental campaigning vessel ever created, she will enable us to take action more often, more effectively and in more places around the world than ever before. That persistence and dedication is what enables Greenpeace to win important victories. And we need those victories more now than ever before.
As part of her role the new Warrior will work at the front line to:
- Promote clean, green energy – blocking coal shipments and launching activists to draw attention to the desperate need for a global revolution in renewable energy.
- Defend our forests – she will track illegal shipments of timber, collecting the evidence needed to prosecute rogue companies and bring about tougher government regulations.
- Protect our oceans – her helicopter carrying facilities will enable us to spot illegal fishing operations from miles and bring criminals to justice and work towards establishing marine reserves.
The new Rainbow Warrior will be:
- purpose built to the highest environmental standards, primarily using wind power instead of fossil fuels
- custom-designed to campaign, educate and take action both at sea and in harbour
- able to transmit compelling images of environmental injustice to the world’s media in minutes
Now, Greenpeace need your help to cover the costs of building the new ship. Please donate today.
