  • Greenpeace climbers install a major new work by renowned artist Anish Kapoor titled BUTCHERED onto a Shell platform in the North Sea - the world’s first artwork to be installed at an active offshore gas site. After securing a giant 12m x 8m canvas to one side of the structure, the activists hoisted a high-pressure hose on top of the canvas at a height of 16 metres above the sea. They then pumped 1,000 litres of blood-red liquid that gushed into the fabric, creating a vast crimson stain. The work is a stark visualisation of the wound inflicted on both humanity and the Earth by the fossil fuel industry, evocative of our collective grief and pain at what has been lost, but also a cry for reparation. © Andrew McConnell / Greenpeace

    Why first responders are calling out rich polluters

    Protection, courage, kindness, fairness  - these are words I think of when I imagine firefighters and emergency relief workers. These accounts from those of the frontlines make clear that we need polluters to pay.
