Greenpeace - Climate Criminals !!!

(1/4) > >>

Kenny:
I have been reading the Greenpeace web site as I am concerned about the climate and I am somewhat astounded by there apparent disregard for it.

If you are not aware they have mounted an anti landrover campaign, and as part of that they are encouraging people to download and print off as many copies of their anti 4x4 poster and fly post them all over the place.

Now am I right in thinking that paper (non recycled) comes from Trees. It takes approx 6% of a tree to produce 1 ream of copy paper (500 pages). Now if say 1 million people worldwide decide to print 50 copies of the poster that is 50 million pieces of paper, 100,000 reams. So based on that this equates to over 6,000 trees being felled in order to get the message across.

Greenpeace should be brought to task on this encouraging this sort of destruction of our trees.

ps.

Did you know that ancient woodland is not nearly as efficient as binding carbon as a young wood. Help the planet plant a tree today. :twisted:

Jake:
Just been to their web site
Love them sevles dont they!!
loads of pictures of them getting nicked!
Funny. My Mum was a member of Green Peece (got a newsletter, did'nt go on any missions!) and drove a V8 90.
Why now do they hate big cars so much?
Surely they run better these days?
Confused, you will be.
(here comes the band wagon, all aboard!)

If the band wagon was a 4x4 though ........

 :wink:

Kenny:
I actually sent GP an email about their 4x4 campaign mentioning about me being on LPG and all that and the response I got was very polite but so "I am not going to budge from my view". Shame really as I gave a good argument and they had no response.

Question is though is this really about the climate or class war. It will not be long before your 4x4 will be vandalised and the minority again win. Please someone tell me what is happening to this world.

Dont get me wrong I am concerned about climate. Living on 150M from the Sea I am very aware of rising sea levels and erosion to our cliffs but lets get this into perspective from my Bedroom I can see Dungeness Power Station and I do really feel we need totake another look at nuclear fuel as a way of slowing global warming.

Bulli:
Green peace have their hearts in the right place but seem to attack the wrong people. We all know we need to take more care of our planet but my measely 4000 miles a year in the v8 shouldnt take priority over finding alternate sources of energy.
 Its easy to pick us out and I am sure there is often reverse snobbery involved. I would guess that most members went to University(partly at our expense) and come from wealthy backgrounds where Daddy is probably running around in a big merc. I have never seen a greenpeace sticker in a council estate!
