Whaling on trial (part 2)
This week our activists, Junichi and Toru, spent two very long and intense days in court, defending the honourable actions they took to expose the corruption within Japan's whaling industry. As the prosecution fumbled its desperate attempt to cast the 'Tokyo Two' as criminals, it became obvious that whaling really is on trial in Aomori.

GE food: COMING SOON!?!?! - to a supermarket...
Just when we thought the threat to our environment couldn't get any worse after world leaders failed to secure a deal to save the climate in Copenhagen - we're now stunned to discover that the EU Commission is exploiting a 'backdoor' loophole to get genetically manipulated crops onto the supermarket shelves in the EU - and into our mouths.

Greenpeace activists constructed a giant whale tail statue at the International Whaling Commission (IWC) meeting in St. Pete Beach, Florida to call on President Obama to reject any proposal that would overturn the ban on commercial whaling.

Historic Decision: Vermont Senate Votes To...
The Vermont State Senate voted to retire the Vermont Yankee Nuclear plant, owned by the Louisiana based corporation Entergy. Despite Entergy’s efforts to renew the license for the 40-year-old reactor, the Vermont Senate voted to shut down the nuclear plant as scheduled in 2012. The final vote was 26-4.

What’s Really Crazy is…
A new movie out in theaters, The Crazies, is a story of a small town of innocent people who are mysteriously infected with a fictitious bio-warfare agent Trixie. Unfortunately, for these people, the infection makes them go crazy and the ensuing horror is enough to make you jump out of your seat. Luckily, for us, this is only a movie and the story is pure fiction.

Facebook status update: Renewable energy now
Facebook recently announced it will build a massive data center in Oregon packed full of the latest energy efficient computers to serve the hundreds of millions of friends connecting on their near-addictive social networking website. But the company plans to run the place on electricity made by burning coal — yes, the dirtiest source of energy and largest single source of global warming pollution in the world.

Nuclear Power: A Dirty and Dangerous Distraction
President Barack Obama announced more than $8 billion in federal loan guarantees for the construction of the first nuclear power plant in the United States in nearly three decades. Greenpeace is extremely disappointed in the President’s decision to back nuclear power. It’s a dirty and dangerous distraction from the clean energy future he promised America.

Tokyo Two trial: Prosecution struggles on...
It’s been almost two years since the wrongful arrest of Junichi and Toru for their roles in exposing the corruption and lies woven in the fabric that holds the whaling industry together. As the trial for those charges began, it is obvious that the case the prosecution put together is cut from the same cloth.

GUILTY! Japan's justice system "breached human...
When two of our activists were detained after exposing major corruption in the Japanese whaling industry - we knew the Japanese authorities breached internationally guaranteed human rights. Now, as these two activists prepare to take the stand and have their day, or more in court, the violation of their human rights has been confirmed by a UN working group.

Target discontinues the sale of farmed salmon
Target has announced that all their stores will stop selling farmed salmon products. This move towards greater ocean conservation is a first by a major seafood retailer. Salmon consumption in the United States is a huge market for retailers. Salmon is second only to shrimp in seafood purchases in the United States. This announcement is sure to have a ripple affect across the entire seafood industry and will improve the health of oceans throughout the world.

Critical habitat for the rare Islands wolf (Canis lupus ligoni, commonly known as the Alexander Archipelago wolf) – a wolf subspecies unique to Alaska’s panhandle, which is mostly occupied by the Tongass National Forest – is again under attack by an ill-conceived logging operation approved by the U.S. Forest Service.

Climate activists convicted of climbing Mt....
The eleven climate activists who proudly staged a historic protest at Mount Rushmore last July appeared in court today for sentencing. All eleven pled guilty to the charge of Climbing Mount Rushmore and received a fine of $460 each. They will also perform 50-100 hours of community service in the National Park system depending on their individual sentences. The judge requested that some or all of that service be performed at Mt. Rushmore.

Copenhagen a cop-out
Two years have passed since world leaders promised all of us a deal to stop climate change. After two weeks of UN negotiations, politicians breezed in, had dinner with the Queen, a three hour lunch, took some photos and then delivered what could only be described as the 24 hour Head of State tourist brochure of Copenhagen instead of a climate treaty. Don’t believe the hype, there is nothing fair, ambitious or legally binding about this deal. The job of world leaders is not done. Today they shamefully failed to save us all from the effects of catastrophic climate change.
