Pasting up the 'Clean our cloud' banner at Apple's London store

Today, we went to Apple's flagship store in London to challenge them to clean up thier iCloud. Volunteers put up giant banners on the windows to catch the eyes of passers-by, as well as handing out hundreds of apples made from coal to customers at the Regent Street store.

Volkswagen is ignoring us on social media. Time to make some noise.

As you may well know, Volkswagen has decided to ignore over a thousand of your comments on Facebook. This isn't just a social media faux pas, it's also downright rude.

They want us to go away quietly. But we won't. This is about the world's biggest car maker risking our future.

For most of us, when we think about our environmental footprint, the first things that spring to mind are how to commute to work, the kind of bags we use for food shopping, or the detergents we wash our clothes with. But how often do we consider the energy we use when surfing the web? Or, how much polluting, dirty energy our Facebook profile generates?

Down at Facebook's London HQ

Very early this morning a handful of us went down to Facebook’s London HQ, to leaflet and talk to Facebook staff about Greenpeace’s global ‘Unfriend Coal’ campaign. We’re asking Facebook to stop using dirty coal to power its servers, and commit to sourcing 100% renewable energy.

Update, 14 April: We did it! Greenpeace smashed the world record for comments on a Facebook post with a total of 80,027 in 24 hours. 

While many of us squander productive hours on the Facebook monster, today there's something useful and important you can do on the social network: set a world record and help push the internet giant off coal.

Nestlé Facebook crash while the forests still burn

Posted by jamie - 22 March 2010 at 4:12pm - 0 Comments

When we plan campaigns, we often have a reasonable idea of how much interest they'll get. Some are designed to speak to a small, specific audience who are in the right place to get things done, while others are broader in appeal. Our Nestle campaign certainly fell into the second category but never once did I think we'd see the level of response witnessed over the last few days. As one of our campaigners said last week, we're beyond wildest dreams territory.
