Save the planet

With 2 billion pairs of eyes expected to be firmly clamped on the Live Earth concerts tomorrow, the word about climate change will be spread far and wide. Although, as George Marshall argues, perhaps enough people already know and they're just waiting to be forced into doing something about it through new laws introduced by their government.

We don't have to wait, though - in fact, we can't wait. Even the most optimistic predictions about the effects of climate change say that we need to take immediate action. So if watching Madonna cavorting around has spurred you on, what can you do here and now? Funny you should ask...

What you can do to help protect the Congo rainforest

Last edited 13 June 2007 at 3:38pm

We need your help to protect the Congo rainforest. It's the second largest rainforest on Earth (only the Amazon is bigger), supporting millions of people as well as being stuffed full of unique and engandered species, including gorillas, chimpanzees and bonobos. And like all large forests, it is crucially important for regulating the local and global climate.

Go on hang a Greenpeace banner, we dare you

Last edited 16 May 2007 at 12:17pm

No need to be an expert climber to hang a Greenpeace banner, you don't even have to leave your desk. You can just grab the code and add it to your blog, website or MySpace page to show your support for our campaigns. They also look a lot better than any banner we've ever hung off a building.

Copy the code of the size banner you would like to place on your page, and we will automatically update the banner every couple of months with our latest campaign. Or if you like you can choose a specific banner from our archives. Thanks so much for your help.

Stamp out beam trawling

Your help in getting supermarkets to sort out their seafood is vital! As a consumer and potential customer, your concerns about what supermarkets sell can really put pressure on supermarket bosses to change their practices.
