As you reading this I am probably moored in a nice bay enjoying a swim, observing the fish and underwater world, and asking myself whether they have realised anything that it's going on above the surface... https://www.greenpeace.org.uk/latest-updates/?news_type=blog
And so for once, it will not be a post filled with doubts as to 'where are we going as a species', and it will not be a thinking post, but simply an introduction to one of the coolest ships: the greenpeace one aka the Rainbow Warrior... I'd first recommend watching 'how to change the world' - a documentary all about the birth of greenpeace The 'rainbow warrior' that is now in use is actually the 'rainbow warrior III' - built on purpose for greenpeace operations. It flies a dutch flag ( i hope not out of convenience). It's an impressive 57m boat with 1256 square meters of sails - that would make it catch a lot of wind and use the least possible fuel.. Not bad! It also supposedly has other 'sustainable' features on board that make it green! The original rainbow warrior, the I, had no sail and came to greenpeace after being owned by the British ministry of agriculture fisheries and food for 22 years.. shame that it was sunk less than 10 years later in Aukland by the French secret services.. Shame or no shame , now it became an artificial reef And the rainbow warrior II, the boat in between , was made with some sails: was 44m (then with some additions became 55) of boat, with 650 squared meters of sail (nearly half of what the new one has!) and she faithfully served 22 years in the sustainability battle.. now, while I have some reserves about Greenpeace, the same that i do about pretty much anything, i think they also do some good and while I am unsure that 'donating' is a great way to go about, I do like to support and give some visibility to their actions You can find things you can do here UK ITALY USA or go to the global to find your country and then go to 'action' to find some of your country specific things you can do to help save the planet... some articles i like www.greenpeace.org.uk/news/golden-age-of-greenwash/ www.greenpeace.org.uk/news/stop-amazon-throwing-away-millions-unused-products/
