We unveiled a collaborative art project with well-known street artist Mark Jenkins. The project highlighted the shared plight of polar bears and humans in the face of global warming. We hope these polar bear street art installations help people draw a deeper and more immediate connection to the reality of the crisis.

Greenpeace USA’s executive director, John Passacantando, is stepping down at the end of 2008, capping an eight-year tenure that saw the organization weather some of its most difficult trials and achieve some of its greatest victories.

September was a busy month for Greenpeace. From homeless polar bears wandering the streets of downtown Washington, DC, to bikini-clad activists in Mexico, Greenpeace actions were captured on camera.

Greenpeace has teamed up with Ben & Jerry’s to bring climate-friendly freezers to the United States. The ice-cream maker’s “Cleaner Greener Freezer,” which is based on technology first developed by Greenpeace that utilizes Hydrocarbons as the refrigerant instead of Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) or other environmentally harmful fluorinated gases (more commonly known as F-gases), was unveiled at the Ben & Jerry's Georgetown ice cream shop in Washington, DC on September 29th, 2008.
Several Greenpeace activists locked down the main entrance to Kimberly-Clark’s global administrative headquarters in Knoxville, TN today as part of their ongoing effort to pressure the company into adopting business practices that protect rather than devastate North America’s remaining Boreal forests. While the lockdown was under way, another group of activists deployed a 30 ft. by 20 ft. banner from the facility’s parking garage that read: “Kleenex: Wiping away ancient forests.”
Greenpeace's Kleercut campaigners continued their efforts to stop Kimberly-Clark from destroying ancient forests to make its disposable products by locking down a Kleenex factory in Fullerton, CA.
