Greenpeace at Glastonbury

To celebrate our 40th anniversary and the launch of the Rainbow Warrior III this year the Greenpeace field is taking on a nautical theme..

Oceans cover most of our planet and are a key buffer against climate change and a source of food for billions, and yet we're still chucking crude oil, toxic chemicals and radioactive waste in there. Humans are over-fishing like there's no tomorrow, which for some marine ecosystems isn't far from the truth.

You wouldn't put up with corporations dumping toxic waste in the middle of a rainforest and then hunting endangered animals through the trees with a bulldozer. But that's the type of thing that's going on all the time in our oceans, and the bad guys get away with it because you don't see it happening. But we'll be there, watching and intervening.

With help from Glastonbury festivals and our incredible supporters we've already had some amazing successes this year. All of the UK's major supermarkets have agreed to stop destructive tuna fishing, saving turtles, sharks, rays and other endangered marine life. But the only long-term solution to stop our oceans from becoming big wet deserts is marine reserves - international off-shore parks where fishing, dumping, drilling, and dredging are banned. Together, we've achieved a huge amount, so come along to the Greenpeace field to help us celebrate and keep making waves.
