When soda giant Coca-Cola was asked to participate in a survey of the world’s top six drinks manufacturers by the environmental organization Greenpeace last year, they refused. And boy, has that decision come back to haunt them! Greenpeace went ahead with their survey anyway. In the absence of full disclosure by the company itself, the environmental group examined the yearly sales figures of certain Coca-Cola products, and determined their proportion of the company’s overall packaging mix since 2012, to determine the company’s global plastic impact. Greenpeace calls its findings “eye-popping” and “breath-taking.” They found that Coca-Cola sells between 108 and 128 billion plastic bottles each year – that’s over 3,000 such bottles every second!

Greenpeace TTIP Leaks: After The Leaks Showed What It Stands For, This Could Be The End For TTIP
– After the leaks showed what it stands for, this could be the end for TTIP (The Independent):
The documents show that US corporations will be granted unprecedented powers over any new public health or safety regulations to be introduced in future. If any European government does dare to bring in laws to raise social or environmental standards, TTIP will grant US investors the right to sue for loss of profits
Today’s shock leak of the text of the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) marks the beginning of the end for the hated EU-US trade deal, and a key moment in the Brexit debate. The unelected negotiators have kept the talks going until now by means of a fanatical level of secrecy, with threats of criminal prosecution for anyone divulging the treaty’s contents.
Now, for the first time, the people of Europe can see for themselves what the European Commission has been doing under cover of darkness – and it is not pretty.
Greenpeace TTIP Leaks
Greenpeace Netherlands has released secret TTIP negotiation documents. We have done so to provide much needed transparency and trigger an informed debate on the treaty. This treaty is threatening to have far reaching implications for the environment and the lives of more than 800 million citizens in the EU and US.
Whether you care about environmental issues, animal welfare, labour rights or internet privacy, you should be concerned about what is in these leaked documents. They underline the strong objections civil society and millions of people around the world have voiced: TTIP is about a huge transfer of power from people to big business.
You can download all the documents below, as a whole and per chapter. For more background info on the content of these documents and TTIP in general, please check . Press contacts can be found .
Robot Bees Will Be Better Than The Real Thing Says Greenpeace (Videos)
From the article:
“This is already happening, as wherever high tech is present, so is the military. Here is a video from the Air Force illustrating the multi-purpose aspect of what is being proposed: not only surveillance, not only autonomous insect swarms, but also assassinations.”
– Robot Bees Will Be Better Than The Real Thing Says Greenpeace (Natural Blaze, May 06, 2014):
No, this is not a tabloid – it’s real. According to several videos, which are posted below, robotic insects have made their first controlled flight. According to the creators of Robobee:
“The demonstration of the first controlled flight of an insect-sized robot is the culmination of more than a decade’s work . . . Half the size of a paperclip, weighing less than a tenth of a gram, the robot was inspired by the biology of a fly, with submillimeter-scale anatomy and two wafer-thin wings that flap almost invisibly, 120 times per second.”

Greenpeace Co-Founder Questions Manmade Global Warming (Video)
FYI …
… and for your disinformation.
YouTube Added: Jan 23, 2011
Description:
Patrick Moore, co-founder of the environmental organization Greenpeace, isn’t too hot about global warming. Appearing on Fox Business Network with Stuart Varney on Thursday, he said global warming is a “natural phenomenon,” there’s no proof of man-made global warming, and suggested that “alarmism” is driving politicians to create bad environmental policies. He also said he’s not More..the only environmentalist that believes like him:
Moore is the author of the book, “Confessions of a Greenpeace Dropout: The Making of a Sensible Environmentalist,” in which he exposes the green movement and explains why he left the organization.
While talking with Varney, he explained that departure was in part due to the group’s “extremist positions” and it being hijacked by political and social causes as well as the left.
Greenpeace: Fukushima City Playgrounds Are Still Highly Radioactive (200 Times Normal)
– Greenpeace: Fukushima victims are victims once again (DW, March 7, 2013):
Two years after the Fukushima nuclear disaster, radiation levels in the city of the same name remain far higher than normal. Heinz Smital, of Greenpeace, believes residents are being kept in the dark over the dangers.
You recently measured the radioactivity in and around Fukushima for Greenpeace Germany. What were your findings?
The radioactivity there is still very high. In the city of Fukushima, which has some 300,000 inhabitants, there are still children’s playgrounds that are highly contaminated. The values we measured there on the ground were 200 times higher than before the nuclear accident. In the evacuated ghost towns where there has been a great effort to clean things up, we have found that the radiation has not declined. It simply isn’t going away. While the cleanup may have been 20 to 50 percent effective, the radiation level is still too high for people to be able to return to a normal life.
So, people are not going to be allowed to move back there at all?

Greenpeace Wants Nuclear Plant Suppliers Held Accountable For Fukushima Crisis

The international environmental group Greenpeace launched an online campaign Tuesday saying nuclear power plant manufacturers should be held accountable for the crisis at the Fukushima No. 1 power plant.
Greenpeace wants Japan’s law on compensation for nuclear damage to be revised so that the companies who designed and built the reactors pay as well.

Greenpeace Exposed: ‘Why Does Greenpeace Do NOTHING About Depleted Uranium, HAARP And Chemtrails?’
Press statement in English, Italian, French and Greek: HERE
In German: Here
– Press release from 7.10.2011– Concerned citizens demand action from Greenpeace (Chemtrail.de, Werner Altnickel):
Press release from 7.10.2011
Concerned citizens demand action from GreenpeaceWith a 16 square-metre banner with the inscription “Why does Greenpeace do nothing about uranium munitions and bombs, HAARP, chemtrails? – A Call for Action” (see photograph) and placards with other slogans, the long-term chemtrails activist Werner Altnickel, together with concerned fellow activists from the citizens’ initiative “Sauberer Himmel” (clean sky) (www.sauberer-himmel.de), demonstrated in front of Greenpeace’s headquarters in Hamburg, demanding action from Greenpeace.
Greenpeace’s earlier slogan in German “Taten statt Warten” (action instead of waiting) seems in the case of these subjects to have mutated into “waiting instead of action”. Greenpeace has withdrawn to passive positions, trusting blindly in state and private institutions and doing no related research itself. The “air measurement bus” has been sold, for example. Why? Is air pollution a thing of the past? Or is the problem that one might be embarrassed to find something in the air other than, say, diesel exhaust?
Werner Altnickel also argues that the “Peace” in Greenpeace’s title years ago lost its justification and should be removed from the name, as Greenpeace for a long time has taken no action against the wars started by NATO, e.g. in Afghanistan, Iraq and now Libya. Hundreds of thousands of civilian victims and huge areas of ruined land seem to play no role any more for Greenpeace. From Greenpeace, the action group working with Werner Altnickel demands independent research and taboo-free involvement on the following subjects:
