Greenpeace Blog

In this edition, we about the Indonesian end of our palm oil campaign from Hapsoro, one of our campaigners in Jakarta, and why getting Unilever on our side is a good start but not the whole answer. We also take a trip to the wilds of Middlesex where opposition to Heathrow's third runway is turned into a celebration with bands, costumes and performers to send a resounding 'No' to the government. And we hear from Bruce Nilles of the Sierra Club in the US about how potential changes on the political scene could nip the resurgance of coal in the bud.

Mareike, web editor aboard the Rainbow Warrior, give us an update on from the Philippines about how the 'Quit Coal' tour is progressing.

Burning coal accounts globally for over 70 per cent of CO2 pollution from power generation and is the greatest single threat to our climate.

That's why the Rainbow Warrior is on a global tour from New Zealand, via the Philippines and Thailand, to the UN climate panel meeting in Poland at the end of this year, promoting a massive uptake of renewable energy and energy efficiency and the phase out of coal.

Hot on the heels of Friday's 'Great coal train action' which halted coal shipments to Drax power station for the best part of two days, comes news of more anti-coal activity. Early this morning climate campaigners from 'Leave it in the Ground' occupied UK Coal's Lodge House site in Derbyshire where a new open cast coal mine is planned, and the rural lanscape is about to be devastated by huge earth-movers.
