Greenpeace is deeply saddened by news of Professor Wangari Muta
Maathai's passing away. It is a sadness we are sharing with people right
across the African continent, and the world.

Believe it or not, Greenpeace celebrates its 40 birthday today!
To mark the occasion, Kumi Naidoo, our International Executive Director,
calls on us all to take inspiration from that first Greenpeace voyage,
and to demand a better future for our planet.
In response to Rachel's recent blog about taking in part in direct actions in such a male-orientated world as Greenpeace, Esther explains that you don't necessarily have to climb tall buildings to have an impact.
Some women have a touch of
the Lara Croft about them, but others - no matter how hard we try - would always
prefer a nice bit of cake and a day out shopping to climbing up chimneys. Not
that there is anything wrong with this – after all, there is more than one way
to save the planet.
Welcome to our 2010 impact report, which details how our work over the past 12 months has helpied us towards a green and peaceful future.
One of the key drivers behind our success is the strong global reach of Greenpeace. We have been able to achieve this by moving the resources and expertise from established offices like the UK to our teams campaigning in rapidly growing economies such as China, India, Brazil and Indonesia. Being able to connect these countries at the frontline of destruction with countries such as our own is what enables us to campaign so effectively for change.

The chancellor promises £1bn for clean energy projects, but much more will be needed
Although heavily trailed by the chancellor’s supporters as an environmental budget, in the end it turned out to be a lot less than a comprehensive green win.
Despite Mr Darling’s assurances that he gets the need for tougher carbon reduction targets, he backed away from raising fuel duty and found more money for motorways under pressure from road lobbyists.

This video by Michael Nagasaki captures some of the atmosphere of the event.
