Greenpeace keeps watch on the Olympics
The Olympics are all about highlighting the best. That's why Greenpeace and other environmental groups are asking Vancouver Olympic venues to use socially and environmentally responsible wood. And we've created a new website so you can monitor their progress right along with us. Visit www.goodwoodwatch.ca in the lead up to the 2010 Winter Olympics, and find out who's using good wood.
Our dream city
Apparently, it can't be done. From politicians to oil executives, a chorus of voices tells us that a truly sustainable energy future is just not in the cards. Fortunately, they're wrong. The sustainable city is possible, and we have proof. Check out Greenpeace UK's new EfficienCity, based on real life, cutting-edge local examples across the UK.

In January, the Greenpeace ship the Esperanza followed the Japanese whaling fleet for fourteen days in the Southern Ocean, preventing them from hunting over 100 whales. Greenpeace Canada oceans campaigner Sarah King gives us the real deal on what's going to happen next.
