Keep coal-fired power out of Thailand
The
Thai Government has been proposing to build two large-scale, polluting,
community-displacing, coal-fired power plants in Central Southern Thailand.
Following unprecedented local and national opposition to the proposals,
the Thai Government is scheduled to make a final decision at the end
of April 2002 as to whether to go ahead with the projects.
-
Send an email to the Prime Minister in support of cancelling the projects. A flood of letters in the next few weeks articulating international concern could just tip the decision in favour of a cleaner
future. - Right now, Edison Mission Energy is planning to build a a 734 megawatt coal-fired power plant on the beach in Bo Nok, Thailand. Send an email to William Heller, CEO of Edison Mission Energy, telling him to give the people of Bo Nok the right to have a clean and safe environment without dirty fossil fuels.

Exposing Bush with a flash of humour
George
W. Bush's rise to the US presidency has been disastrous for the global
environment and for international disarmament treaties. Greenpeace has
responded in full force with direct actions and lobby work.
Sometimes the situation can feel unrelentingly grim. We wanted to find some lighter ways as well to challenge the Bush agenda. So we thought we'd see what the web animation community could come up with. Quite a bit, as it turns out. We received a dozen excellent entries for our Bush Push Flash Bash contest.
