The Jakarta Post, Sat, 11/15/2008 10:56 AM Reader's Forum Your comments on Greenpeace which recently blocked Indonesian palm oil shipments and called to for an end to palm-oil related forest clearing. Indonesia needs tougher laws on illegal land clearing; stricter licensing and more focus on establishing national heritage nature reserves for our future in sustainable eco-tourism. DAVID HAUG
The Earth Times, 11 Nov 2008 09:36:18 GMT Amsterdam - The first shipload of palm oil certified as "sustainable oil" and due to arrive in Rotterdam on Tuesday, does not meet the criteria set for an environmentally friendly product, Greenpeace told Dutch media on Tuesday. Greenpeace, the international environmental campaigner, said that United Plantations, the company producing the sustainable palm

Sometimes I think we forget the organic, living nature of the world around us.

AFP - 8 April 2008 Original URL JAKARTA (AFP) — Indonesia is failing to halt the destruction of its peatland forests despite promising to do so during last year's climate change conference in Bali, pressure group Greenpeace said Monday. Greenpeace said its workers had witnessed two palm oil companies illegally clearing government-owned land on Sumatra island in March. "Last month, a Greenpeace team revisited an area of Sumatra's Riau province where it had monitored palm oil expansion in 2007, to find that further large tracts of peatland forest had been destroyed inside (areas) which had not been granted permits," the group said. Indonesia has one of the highest rates of deforestation in the world, driven by voracious demand for commodities and weak law enforcement. La

Greenpeace is hoping to speak to manufacturers via gamers Greenpeace has called on gamers to persuade Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo to make their consoles greener. According to the environmental campaign group, game console makers have so far "failed to reduce the toxic burden of their products". It accuses Microsoft, Nintendo and Sony of lagging behind mobile phone and PC manufacturers. The initiative is part of Greenpeace's campaign to persuade the electronics industry to be greener. "Game console manufacturers are lagging way behind the makers of mobile phones and PCs who have been reducing the toxic load of the products over the past year," said Zenia Al Hajj, Greenpeace International's toxics campaigner. "Game consoles contain many of the same components as PCs so manufacturers can do a lot more," she added.

Há 23 anos, o barco do Greenpeace, o Rainbow Warrior, foi alvo de um atentado terrorista no porto de Auckland, na Nova Zelândia. O atentado foi praticado por agentes do serviço secreto francês numa represália aos protestos (pacíficos) levados à cabo por aquela organização, contra os testes nucleares franceses no Atol de Mururoa.O covarde ataque à bomba, ocorrido no dia 10 de julho de 1984, provocou a morte do fotógrafo português, Fernando Pereira, de 35 anos e o conseqüênte afundamento da embarcação. A repercussão que o atentado teve na França seria de envergonhar qualquer um que têm o mínimo de vergonha na cara. O governo de Mitterrand, prometeu tomar as medidas cabíveis, porém, as únicas punições se deram contra membros do governo francês, que ousaram repassar informações para a imprensa; e não houve qualquer investigação a respeito do ataque terrorista em si. É bom destacar que o episódio despertou pouca reação negativa por parte da opinião públi
JAKARTA (AP): Environmental activists are blockading a shipment of palm oil from Indonesia to protest the destruction of rain forests that they say goes hand in hand with the planting of the crop. With a banner reading "Palm Oil Kills Forests and Climate," Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior was anchored next to an India-bound palm oil tanker at Dumai port on Sumatra island, the group said in a statement Friday.Activists maintain the crop is planted on forest land cleared by fires that unleash millions of tons of carbon dioxide - a greenhouse gas. They say this defeats the purpose of developing palm-based biodiesel fuel as a renewable source of energy that does not contribute to greenhouse gases."The logging, draining and burning of Indonesia's peat land forests releases a massive amount of store

Greenpeace and other “Green” activists group are trying to force change in the environmental policy on Apple’s product.
They want Apple products to be free of the toxic chemicals, such as brominated flame retardants, that can be found in its American counterparts.
Zeina Alhajj campaign coordinator for Greenpeace says: “The iPhone is a unique product and for us it is a missed opportunity for Apple to combine the innovation of the product with a green performance.”
Last month, Greenpeace accused Apple of failing to make “early progress” with the iPhone toward the company’s stated goals for eco friendliness. Apple responded by reiterating its intent to make all of it’s products free of hazardous materials by the end of 2008, and stressed all components used in the phone comply with the European Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive.
Will Greanpeace activity discourage Apple fans from buying the iPhone?
What seems to
Environmental advocacy organization Greenpace has announced that it is planning to hold a rally during Apple's launch of the iPhone in Europe this month. The group is citing that tests conducted by its UK labs have revealed the presence of PVCs and brominated flame retardants chemicals in the iPhone's construction materials. Both chemicals are regarded as potentially dangerous compounds.

In the lead-up to the international Bali Climate summit, Greenpeace has launched a major direct action in Sumatra, Indonesia, to stop the nefarious PT Duta Palma corporation from destroying a pristine tropical forest (and the habitat for highly endangered Sumatran rhinos, tigers, and oh-so-cute orangutans) and replacing it with a palm oil plantation.Torching tropical forests is bad enough, but this one lies atop a peat bog and the Duta Palma's henchmen are trying to drain it and burn it to grow the palms -- releasing thousands of tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere in the process. Indeed, destruction of peat bogs in Indonesia alone accounts for more than 8 percent of total global greenhouse-gas emissions from fossil fuels.Greenpeace is calling for the Indonesian government to ban clearing of peatland and tropical forest destruction in general. But all this activity would likely disappear if the Bali climate conference creates powerful incentives to stop deforestation -- by givi
While green peace has done good things in the past, to fabricate information about anything is contrary to what we think is right. There are a lot of people in business and government each day that feel that they need to fabricate information, the sad side effect of this is that while they grab headlines, the end result is that the organization or group is tarnished because they were unable to tell the truth.
We are used to media spin, and we are used to calling companies to the mat for things that they do wrong, we have no problem pinging on Microsoft, Yahoo, Google, Apple, and the rest of the lot that makes up our current technology base. Nor do we have a whole lot of problems pinging on each other when there is obvious Public Relations mischief happening.
But when Green Peace decides that it wants to be an attention whore and falsify information about the Apple Iphone, well that is below respectability. This will not hurt the Iphone, nor will this hurt Apple, this will make green
