She explains that the extreme individualism promoted by capitalism is exactly what needs to be overcome in order to tackle existential crises such as climate change.

Black Ice - the story of the Greenpeace Arctic 30 (full documentary film) Greenpeace International 2023-09-18 | On 18 September 2013, a peaceful protest in international waters targeting the Russian state-owned Prirazlomnaya oil platform ended with 28 Greenpeace activists & 2 freelance journalists placed in detention....When the Greenpeace ship Arctic Sunrise set sail to protest the first ever oil drilling in the Arctic Ocean, none of the people on board could have known what was coming.Seized at gunpoint by Russian special forces, the ‘Arctic 30’ were thrust into headlines all over the world, facing up to 15 years in prison and finding themselves at the centre of a bitter international dispute.A similar protest the previous year at the same oil platform had seen the Greenpeace activists walk away untouched. This time, the events that unfolded sent shockwaves across the world.With the eyes of the world upon them, Russia charged the crew, from 18 different countries, with piracy and hooliganism. It was the most ruthless response from a national government against an NGO in a quarter of a century.Their imprisonment, which saw worldwide media cast the Arctic 30 in the same mould as political prisoners like Pussy Riot and Mikhail Khodorkovsky, lasted months - but their resolve to try and stop oil drilling in the Arctic was never broken.http://www.blackicemovie.netwww.greenpeace.org/international/story/62277/ten-years-arctic-30Greenpeace 2014Subtitles in English, French, Spanish, German, Chinese (Taiwan +Hong Kong + mainland China, Hebrew, Polish, Russian, Czech, Albanian, Turkish, Korean, Danish, Finnish, Swedish, Dutch

As a Barbie Girl in a warming world, can Barbie do better to make her way to the real world? Greenpeace International 2023-08-03 | As a Barbie Girl in a warming world, can Barbie choose a better mode of transport to the real world?In the recent Barbie film, Barbie is seen driving a stunning pink electric car (EV), which marks a positive shift from her previous use of fossil fuel cars. However, her boyfriend Ken's electric SUV highlights another critical issue we face in terms of transport emissions – the impact of big passenger cars.Passenger cars contribute the most to transport emissions, and SUVs, being larger vehicles, require more resources during their manufacturing process.In fact, in 2022, as the popularity of SUVs surged to nearly half of all cars sold, the additional carbon dioxide emissions nearly offset the emissions reduced by transitioning to electric vehicles, according to the International Energy Agency.Barbie, along with all of us, deserves access to affordable & efficient public transport, safe bike and pedestrian lanes, as well as low emission zones!
