Politicians, military personnel and celebrities will come together today to highlight why replacing the Trident missile system is a dangerous and expensive distraction from the real threat facing our planet - climate change.
Ken Livingstone, Annie Lennox, Anita and Gordon Roddick, Bianca Jagger, Tony Robinson and Major General Sir Patrick Cordingly will be among those on Greenpeace's Arctic Sunrise ship to explain why they don't want the UK to spend up to £76bn on outdated, unnecessary and dangerous weapons of mass destruction.

Part of the Trident: we don't buy it tour blog
After sailing around a substantial chunk of the UK's coastline - via Leith and then Greenock - we've finally reached London. I've entered the city by train, car, bus and bicycle before but I have to say, sailing into London beats them all. We slipped through the Thames Barrier and up past the Millennium Dome, Canary Wharf and the Docklands to our mooring spot by Tower Bridge, where we settled in and watched the lights come on over the London skyline. We're just 100-odd metres from the bridge so give us a wave if you go past (or better still, come and have a free tour of the ship this weekend - more info below)!

Captain Waldemar back on the bridge at last.
As we speed along England’s southern coast, the mood is cheery onboard the Arctic Sunrise. The sea's calm, the sun’s out for the first time in days and the ship’s been scrubbed from bow to stern, mopped, painted and generally reclaimed from her extended stay with the Ministry of Defence. And, despite the delays, the we've made excellent time; we look set to reach London on time, where Mayor Ken Livingstone and others are waiting to welcome our Trident: we don't buy it ship tour to the city.

If you travel on the London underground, you may be seeing a lot more of nuclear waste over the next few weeks than you've been used to. We've joined The Mayor of London Ken Livingstone in launching a poster campaign to tell Londoners about the alternative to the new nuclear power stations Tony Blair wants to build - and inviting them to join the debate on our energy future.

As new figures showed sales of 4x4 vehicles dipping for the first time, Greenpeace urged Tony Blair to enact proposals to tax polluting vehicles more heavily. A total of 105,196 new SUVs were sold in the first seven months of 2006 compared with 106,732 in January-July 2005.

London mayor Ken Livingstone has joined Bill Clinton in Los Angeles to launch a pact to help major cities around the world cut greenhouse gas emissions. Twenty-two cities, including Berlin, Mexico City, New York, Paris, and Rome, have joined the Clinton Climate Initiative, which plans to help cities reduce the amount of carbon dioxide they release into the environment through methods such as a purchasing consortium to lower the prices of energy saving products.

Whatever you may think of his political credentials, as Mayor of London Ken Livingstone has been pushing to make the metropolis a greener city. His plans for a low-energy London have shown just how far behind central government are in terms of planning for a sustainable future, and the Greater London Authority (GLA) ensures that all timber used in their building projects is from sources approved by the Forest Stewardship Council.
