We're now closed for entries ... stay tuned, voting opens soon!
After two weeks of frantic film making, the curtain has fallen on the Greenpeace film competition.
I spent a few very pleasant hours yesterday watching all the entries – in many cases, over and over again.
I’m amazed by how much hard work has gone into them – and I think you will be too when you see the results.

Update: Over 6,000 emails to Ford bosses. Yet to receive a reply.
As the clock ticks down to some pretty important laws that could potentially save us millions of barrels in oil consumption (3.6m in the UK alone), one car manufacturer is doing its best to scupper this important legislation: Ford.
We've just heard from some high-level sources that Ford is pressuring Vince Cable, the Business Secretary, to weaken the UK's position on proposed European emissions targets.

Why are car companies hiding their progress? Photo: drinksmachine
It's not often you see car companies trying to hide their green achievements. We're more used to seeing them worn boastfully on the outside. The way Superman wears his underpants.
So why would they hide them now?
The Corporate Social Responsibility guys must be choking on their almond croissants. Today's news is something they want to shout about: fast, tangible progress on vehicle efficiency technology that reduces emissions. Greener cars, greener company. This time they don't have to make it up. But they're being hushed up by the lobbyists in the boardroom, who know that talking about these gains is going to counter their main argument with politicians: that their companies can't comply with proposed CO2 targets in time.

Exposing illegal timber used in the construction of the new Home Office building in 2003 © Greenpeace/Cobbing
It's been a long time coming but
finally - finally! - the European parliament has voted overwhelmingly in favour
of a law banning illegal timber from entering the European Union. Like many
other organisations, Greenpeace has been campaigning on this for years - 10
long ones, in our case - so to see this become a reality is an amazing tribute
to the thousands of people who emailed, donated or took direct action.
