Greenpeace light!

[Hetric]

Am I the only one who thinks greenpeace has become soft? Compared to NGOs like PETA?

[MAN]

Please explain? Do you mean ineffective?

[Hetric]

They have lost their drive. You hardly see them anywhere on TV. No scandals, no uproar.

[MAN]

I must confess they truly have los some of their appeal. Or the media has just got tired of them.

Both of it!

I think Greenpeace was, like every newcomer, keen on PR. Now they have established their brand so there is no need for further publicity stunts.

Although I cannot agree with the original post, I must admit that greenpeace has become soft.

Nobody is perfect but you are right: Greenpeace is in need for some image change.

Former Greenpeace Co-Founder Praises US for Rejecting Kyoto

Montreal (CNSNews.com) - A founding member of Greenpeace, who left the organization because he viewed it as too radical, praised the United States for refusing to ratify the Kyoto Protocol.

"At least the [United] States is honest. [The U.S.] said, 'No we are not going to sign that thing (Kyoto) because we can't do that,'" said Patrick Moore, who is attending the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Montreal.



"I think this whole Kyoto process is a colossal waste of time and money," said Moore, who rejects alarmist predictions of human-caused 'global warming."

The U.N.'s 11th Annual Climate Change Conference in Montreal failed to impress Moore, who is there to promote nuclear energy.

"There is nothing concrete going on here. There is nothing good happening here as far as I can see. [The participants at the U.N. conference are] just spending a whole pile of money and auguring and talking," he added.

Moore also slammed the movement he helped found, accusing today's environmental groups of being co-opted by the political Left.

"The Left figures it owns the environmental movement and that has corrupted the movement greatly," Moore said. "The [left-wing] influence has brought great dysfunction into the environmental movement. [It's turned it into] an elitist movement."

Moore said he decided to leave Greenpeace in 1986 after the group became too radical and he could "no longer agree with the policies that were being espoused."
