incineration

'The Wind' a remarkable new short film commissioned by Greenpeace and directed by Julien Temple, will receive its world premier at the Greenpeace Business Conference in London today (5 October 2000).

'The Wind' celebrates the massive, but as yet untapped, potential of renewable energy resources in Europe in the 21st Century. It also highlights the very real dangers of climate change and the impact this is already having on people's lives throughout the world.

Greenpeace action against the world's tallest toxic waste incinerator

Four Greenpeace campaigners face a further ten days in a Tokyo jail after being arrested on Tuesday 9th May for hanging a banner from an incinerator.

The Greenpeace flagship Rainbow Warrior was raided today at 08h10 local time by the Japanese Police. The Japanese authorities were looking for evidence against the four Greenpeace activists arrested on Tuesday after they had climbed the tower of the world's tallest incinerator complex in Toshima Ward, in Tokyo, to demand an end to waste incineration. The police made a demand to search the ship thoroughly, including the computer data, the ship's logbook and the crew's personal belongings.
