In light of recent coverage in the media, we want to be completely transparent about our approach to asking people for support.
People-power is our not-so-secret weapon in making companies and governments do the right things for nature and the environment. We ask people to add their voices, their actions and their money to give our campaigns the biggest possible impact.

Greenpeace at the Climate Clinic for a debate on coal vs renewables.
We've just found out we're up for another web award: The People's Choice Website of the Year Award. If you like what we do here in cyberspace, please tootle over and vote!
Strangely, we've won two other awards in the past few weeks. EfficienCity, our virtual town showcasing decentralised energy, has won the W3 Best in Show for animation. (The W3 or World Wide Web Consortium are the folks who decide the standards for the web. The criteria they judge include creativity, usability, navigation, functionality, visual design, and ease of use, so all credit to our friends at BiroCreative who built EfficienCity.)

Given that we have the best renewable resources in the European Union, the fact that Britain languishes near the bottom of the European renewables league table is pretty humiliating.
On Monday though, the International Energy Agency added insult to injury. Britain's renewables strategy, it said, is 'ineffective' and 'very expensive'. The agency's new report (published here, but you have to pay) ranks Britain 31st out of 35 countries - "including all the major industrial nations such as the US, Germany and China" - in its green energy cost league. And our 'renewables effectiveness', it says, is a paltry three per cent.

Manchester was at the heart of the industrial revolution. Now it could take the lead in the next energy revolution. While national energy policy flounders, towns and local authorities can do an enormous amount to achieve the emissions reductions we so urgently need.
So, as part of a series of nationwide events, we're hosting an evening of discussion (and the regional launch of our film, The Convenient Solution) at Manchester City FC – soon to be the first UK sports stadium to be powered by its own 85m wind turbine.
The Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) was established on 1st April 2005. It has taken over ownership all of British Nuclear Fuels (BNFL) sites, as well as those of the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA).
The original focus for the NDA, as written in the White Paper 2002 in which it was first proposed, was that it should be "squarely on [dealing with] the nuclear legacy" .
