A Greenpeace climate-friendly Valentines Guide (mostly)
My friend Hugo recently noted "it's Valentine's Day, and the very idea of the depressingly rampant commercialism around it all makes me want to gouge my eyes out with a rusty spoon...".

Brian Wilson outside the DTI
We met Energy Minister Brian Wilson on the steps of the DTI, to present him with a bunch of red roses and a Valentine's Day card from the nuclear power industry.
Wearing radiation suits and goggles, we gave him a card, signed 'with love from the nuclear industry', containing the following heartfelt poem:
"Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
The nuclear industry,
Would've died without you."
