Sam takes today's baton in our spring blog relay - catch up on entries from other Greenpeace staff.

Sam says

Hi, I'm Sam, and I'm probably the person in Greenpeace UK who speaks to most people in any given day, as the office's only receptionist.

Not only do I deal with all of the staff in the office, but I am also usually the one who answers all the phone calls that come in via the switchboard. Chances are, if you've ever heard "Good morning/afternoon, Greenpeace," it was me. Having been here for over nine years now, I can only imagine how many times I have answered the phone.

I'm also first point of call for things that go wrong. And it's amazing how often faxes, photocopiers and things do go wrong (always when they are needed urgently). And if milk or coffee runs out upstairs there can almost be riots!

Volunteers hold "climate crime scene" tape

On the day the world finally enacted Kyoto, the oil industry tried to hold a huge party to say, 'we don't care, it's business as usual'. We hope for at least one evening they've been forced to face the reality of what they're doing.

Don't Buy Esso: Bad CompanyAs a taste of what is to come during a second term with Bush, an advisor to the President on climate issues came out claiming global warming is a myth designed to 'hamper American competitiveness.'


Myron Ebell, a director at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, told the BBC's Radio 4 that claims that the climate is threatened are "ridiculous, unrealistic and alarmist."

The President of the Unites States: Esso

The President of the Unites States: Esso

There's nothing nastier than a wounded tiger. Esso is licking its wounds as Russia moves closer to ratifying the Kyoto Protocol. But the world's number one environmental criminal is still fighting tooth and nail to deny the truth about climate change. The US government is increasingly isolated and Esso is out to ensure its workers keep it that way by voting for US politicians who oppose action against global warming.
