A Greenpeace activist blockading a factory which supplies 'dirty' tuna to John West

If you were doing your weekly shop at Sainsbury’s last Saturday, you may have noticed that John West tuna was no longer in stock. ‘Hurray!’ you may have thought, ‘Sainsbury’s has finally decided to drop this horrific brand.’ If you looked a little closer, however, you would have noticed that Greenpeace was actually behind the lack of John West tuna in the tinned fish aisle. ;-)<--break->

That was 2011: we couldn't have done it without you

The winter solstice is as good a time as any to look back over the last 11-and-a-bit months that were 2011. And what a year it's been, not just for us here in the office but for all our supporters and volunteers who've kept our campaigns going.

Oil giant gets legal hammer to stop Greenpeace protest

US energy giant Chevron has this afternoon sought a court order to shut down a Greenpeace protest.

Environmental campaigners have been occupying a purpose-built reinforced survival pod attached to the anchor chain of a Chevron-operated oil drilling ship off Shetland. The direct action protest began on Tuesday morning and prevented the Stena Carron leaving to drill an exploratory well in deep water off the Scottish coast.
