Shane Moffatt, Greenpeace Canada 

to me
Dear Shane Moffatt:
  I will continue to support Greenpeace with free publicity from this old computer but as for cash, my refrigerator is empty and my Two Cats are looking suspiciously at their empty food dishes.  There are two weeks left in this month of June before I receive my minimum retirement pension check. We can't destroy our social economy in order to preserve Nature but we (all of us) need to convince companies  like Resolute to create clean non-polluting products as well as jobs for more people and yes we can shake up companies like Resolute but here is an idea! 

 Why not convince them to create inexpensive but rigid and strong Plastic planks for home construction. We both know how much free Plastic is floating around the Earth. It would be a free resource for Resolute and a solution for everybody. There are Plastic planks now on the market but they are being sold at a ridiculous price.We need large companies to step up to the plate and bat a home run for the planet! Bye for now.

Joseph,
We came to you, asking for help to fight back against one of the biggest threats in Greenpeace's history. A lawsuit that could close offices and scale down our global work. And what we got is more than we could have ever expected. 
90 organizations published ads in Canadian newspapers, supporting Greenpeace and Stand.Earth’s right to speak out. 240 authors from around the world including Margaret Atwood, Naomi Klein, and Yann Martel have signed our pledge to defend free speech and forests. More than 10,000 people sent us voice recordings to show Resolute Forest Products they too will not be quiet while free speech is under threat. 500,551 people signed an appeal to publishing companies buying paper from Resolute and we delivered those signatures along with photos of people standing with us from around the world, directly to the publishing companies.
This week, we reached another campaign milestone. In a letter published on June 13th,  Resolute customer and giant in the publishing sector, the Hachette Group, condemned Resolute’s excessive legal tactics and stated its support for Greenpeace's role as an environmental watchdog.
Thanks to you, volunteers, allies, partners, and brilliant authors from around the world, we are making sure everyone hears about Resolute. 
We did all this with only a fraction of the resources that Resolute has to spend on publicity and legal costs. Can you help make sure we'll have the budget to keep defending ourselves against these meritless lawsuits and continue doing our important work to protect forests?
We hope we can count on you to support our work, so we can fight this and continue focusing on what matters - investigating and exposing environmental destruction, and defending the world’s ecosystems. 
Thank you. 
Shane
Head of Forest campaign, Greenpeace Canada

P.S. We can’t let Resolute shut down Greenpeace. We want the company to adopt sustainable logging practices, not try to silence anyone who disagrees with it. Please donate now to save forests, save wildlife, and save Greenpeace!
We don't accept any money from companies or governments so we can be independent and challenge anyone who threatens the planet or peace. To help us keep fighting climate change, defending our oceans and protecting ancient forests, please make a donation. Thank you!
If you no longer want to be in the loop with the latest news from these emails, we'll be sad, but you can unsubscribe here.
