We spoke to supporters to hear how a humble bit of Greenpeace merchandise can inspire action, connect people... and get you into trouble at work.
From badges to mugs to the classic t-shirt, Greenpeace merchandise has held a special place in people’s hearts over the years.
We asked supporters, old and new, for their funny and heart-warming stories involving some Greenpeace memorabilia. Read on to hear how a chance encounter with a Greenpeace ‘thing’ out in the world has been a catalyst for many supporters’ journey into activism (and even got them into a bit of trouble along the way).
“I wore a Greenpeace T shirt to work in a government department. Rather than have me undertake a two hour round journey to get changed I was ordered to pin a piece of paper over the logo, which failed as even more people were curious as to what was under it!”Eddie, 66, from Kettering. Greenpeace supporter since 1985.
We’ve been campaigning for many years to change the textile industry’s reliance on hazardous chemicals and we’re excited to now be working with a company that meets our high standards to produce t-shirts again. You can find the full range in the new Greenpeace shop.
Featuring some of Greenpeace’s best known imagery, and with lots of great designs to choose from, you’re sure to find one you can wear with pride.
Sandra is 79, in fuel poverty and lives in a cold, damp, uninsulated home. This is her story.
On average 58 people have died a day every winter because of cold homes since government cuts to insulation funding. So we built a cemetery in their memory outside Parliament.
All eyes are on the upcoming by-election in Kingswood. This is Project Climate Vote’s first real opportunity to show all political parties that we want more action on climate and nature, not less.
