| What a year! As 2012 comes to an end, I want to take a minute to look back on an amazing first year for our global campaign to save the Arctic. A year that wouldn’t have been possible without your support. It all started in March when Greenpeace activists (including Xena Warrior Princess star Lucy Lawless) occupied one of Shell’s drillships in New Zealand. The outpouring of support for that activity let us know that we had something big on our hands. From there the movement only grew. Over two million people joined the likes of Paul McCartney and Jude Law by adding their names to our Arctic Scroll, we sent ships to the Alaskan and Russian Arctic, fought Shell in court, organized a global week of volunteer action, had some fun with the Yes Men that exposed millions more to our campaign and…the list goes on. It all added up to more than we could have imagined. Shell didn’t drill this year and your support was a big reason why. This is why I work for Greenpeace. I believe our campaign to save the Arctic will be one of the defining environmental fights of this generation. I’m so proud of everything we accomplished together this year, and expect even bigger things in 2013. From my family to yours, thank you. Philip Radford Greenpeace Executive Director P.S. We have even bigger plans for our Arctic campaign in 2013 and for all our work to protect the environment, but they all depend on your support. Can you chip in today? |
