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.
Calling all YouTube fans. Fellow green movers at down the road at Friends of the Earth have launched a green film competition. They're asking for 60-second odes to the future of the planet, exploring how we look after it with the assumption that there is a day after tomorrow.
Entries need to be in by 20 August 2007 so there's plenty of time to write, film and edit your mini-masterpiece. Even if you aren't inclined to enter, you can be inspired by the entries on the FoE YouTube channel. And while you're there, you can check out our own channel (although we're not offering any prizes as yet).
We face a choice between using an archaic energy system that will leave a legacy of contamination for hundreds of future generations and won't stop climate change, and using a clean and efficient energy system that can stop climate change and ensure energy security. The government has tried to make that decision for us, but there's still time to stop them from taking the UK into a new nuclear age:
We can stop catastrophic climate change. We know what causes it, we have the technologies to prevent it, and there's a rapidly growing understanding of just how urgent the need for action is.
All that's missing is the action itself.
The government needs to put in place meaningful policies to urgently reduce emissions - and to act on them immediately. We need your help to persuade them. Together, we can stop climate chaos.
Ancient forests around the world are in peril, but we can still save them. Governments and the timber industry need to understand what a crucial role they play in maintaining global biodiversity, not to mention how vital they are in regulating the climate, so they need to act now.
And as consumers, we can all help to save the forests. Making sure that the wood and paper we buy has come from well-managed sources (or, even better, is 100 per cent recycled) is something we can all easily do.
Use this guide to help you specify timber from environmentally and socially responsible forestry and to avoid timber that is the product of illegal logging practices in ancient forest areas.
You can also order the How to Specify Good Wood CD-ROM, packed with information on choosing the right wood for your building projects.
