Prirazlomnaya.

It’s certainly a mouthful, but it’s also the new name – and face – of Arctic destruction today. This giant Russian platform is set to be the first to try and commercially produce offshore Arctic oil anywhere on the planet.

This competition is for fun and is designed to raise awareness about threats to the Arctic and what you can do about it, but there are still a few rules, sorry:

Responding to news today that Chancellor George Osborne is set to hand-out half a billion pounds in subsidies to the gas industry, Doug Parr, head of policy at Greenpeace, said:

“Osborne’s going to hand over hundreds of millions of taxpayers’ money to the polluting and pricey gas industry. This is clearly bonkers, for economic and environmental reasons.

Shell capital city operations shut down over Arctic drilling

Greenpeace to broadcast live direct action against oil giant in 12 hour TV special

16 July, 2012

Greenpeace campaigners are today attempting to shut down every Shell petrol station in the capital cities of London and Edinburgh just as the oil company is about to drill in the Arctic for the very first time. 

The environmental group, who recently launched a star-studded campaign to save the Arctic, intend to close over 100 stations in London, and over a dozen in Edinburgh, by using the emergency shut-off switch, which stops petrol going to the pumps, and removing the fuse so it can’t immediately be turned back on again.
