Denmark of all places! A marine slaughterhouse!


 
URGENT: Hold Denmark Accountable for the Slaughter of Pilot Whales
 
Sign Now
 
Joseph,
One of the most brutal whale hunts in the world is the Faroe Islandsgrindadráp, or grind. Pilot whales and other marine mammals are ruthlessly slaughtered, turning the bays red with their blood.
During a grind, a dozen or so small boats drive a family group of long-finned pilot whales, or sometimes bottlenosed, Risso's or white-sided dolphins, into shallow bays where the rest of the whaling team waits with knives to stab the animals and sever their spinal cords – leaving them to bleed out in the bay.
This graphic and inhumane scene has been playing out for centuries – and once played an important role in providing protein for the communities which live on the rocky islands. But due to health concerns caused by the high levels of mercury and other pollution in the marine mammals, the meat is no longer needed.
Even though the hunt is largely symbolic for the community, more than one thousand whales can be killed during a summer's worth of grinds.
Despite these facts, and in violation of international habitat agreements, Denmark continues to mobilize the full weight of their government – including the navy, police and customs officers – to support the grinds.
If enough of us sign on and speak out, we can convince the European Commission to enforce their agreements and end Denmark's support for this horrible torture of marine wildlife.
Thank you for taking action,
 Aaron V.

Trump motivates world Greenpeace activistism.

Joseph,
Last week was not a good one for our planet.
In a move that's been called "one of the most reckless and reprehensible decisions ever made by a US president" [1], Donald Trump announced he is abandoning the Paris climate agreement.
I want to let you, one of our loyal Greenpeace supporters, know that our resolve and commitment to protecting our planet has only be strengthened. If Trump thinks we're going to stand by while he puts our planet on course to catastrophe, now is the moment we'll prove him wrong.
As you read this, Greenpeace's teams - from Asia to Europe - are already mobilizing. Our office in the US has launched a huge response, urgently calling for members of Congress to oppose the president. And here in Canada, we'll be ramping up pressure on Prime Minister Trudeau and other leaders to condemn Trump's move in the strongest possible terms and, most importantly, to back those words with action by adopting even stronger measures here, like substituting renewable energy investments for proposed pipeline and tar sands expansion.
Though the Paris agreement is by no means perfect, it's still a monumental achievement: a deal that hundreds of thousands of us across the globe tirelessly campaigned for. When it was agreed in 2015, it was the first time in history the world's governments came together to set out comprehensive plans to tackle the climate crisis.
But Trump’s actions don't just risk undoing hard work. While climate change might seem like a distant threat, for many people around the world it is a life or death issue. In sub-Saharan Africa, climate change is triggering more extreme drought and pushing farmers into an uncertain future.[2] In Bangladesh, rising sea levels - brought on by melting ice and warming seas - are forcing people to abandon their homes.[3]
With his announcement, Trump turned his back on one of the greatest threats humanity faces, and he chose to put more lives at risk.
While all countries must play their part in slashing greenhouse gases, the US has a crucial role to play in tackling the climate crisis. Each year, the US pumps out a huge share of global emissions.[4] And as one of the world's richest and most powerful nations, other governments look to the US for leadership on solving global problems.
The good news is that Trump is already looking isolated. In the hours after the president's announcement, China vowed to push forward with the Paris agreement despite Trump's decision to withdraw.[5] France's new President Emmanuel Macron even went on TV to issue a statement condemning Trump.[6]
Without the US onboard, we must act fast to pressure other countries ramp up their plans to reduce climate-warming emissions. In the coming weeks and months, we'll need to work together to prevent Trump's actions from rippling out and causing more damage. This could be one of the biggest challenges our movement has ever faced.
Last week’s news isn't what we hoped for. And right now, many of us will be feeling uncertain about the future of our planet. But today let's remember there's reason to have hope too. While Trump is turning his back on the world, there are millions of us across the globe who are determined to work together to create a greener, more peaceful world - and leave a planet that's fit for generations to come.
Greenpeace is a huge, worldwide movement of people who care deeply about the future of the world we live in. We're a movement of people whose resolve only becomes stronger when faced with huge challenges. And most of all, we're a movement that's never giving up.
With all this in mind, I want to sincerely thank you for your continuing support and solidarity.
With hope and gratitude,
-Joanna
Joanna Kerr, Executive Director, Greenpeace Canada
PS. Our ability to face and ultimately overcome this challenge depends entirely on the support of individuals like you. Please consider making a gift to help us in this urgent fight to protect the future of our planet.

FROM GREENPLANET.ORG 

Well, it happened. Despite strong opposition from both sides, Trump has withdrawn the U.S. from the Paris Climate Agreement. The U.S. joins only two countries not participating in the agreement – Syria and Nicaragua.
The Paris Agreement, adopted in December 2015, is a cornerstone of the global fight againstclimate change and the catastrophic results of this phenomenon. The pact deals with the mitigation, adaptation, and finance of greenhouse gas emissions – the fundamental cause of the greenhouse effect.
But thankfully, many do have a voice of reason, unlike Trump and are still committed to the Paris Climate Agreement. Founder and Billionaire CEO of Bloomberg, Michael Bloomberg has offered to make up the $15 million in funding that the United Nations stands to lose because of Trumps decision to withdraw from the agreement.

“Americans are not walking away from the Paris Climate Agreement. Just the opposite — we are forging ahead,” Bloomberg said. 

2925154094_f87a153774_z
And there is even more hope. The New York Times reported, that joining Bloomberg in denouncing Trump’s decision is an unnamed group that includes 30 mayors, three governors, more than 80 university presidents and more than 100 businesses, which is negotiating with the United Nations to have their plan for climate change accepted alongside contributions to the Paris climate deal by other nations.
New York Governor Andrew M. Cuomo, California Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr., and Washinton State Governor Jay R. Inslee, released a statement reaffirming their commitment to exceed the targets of the agreement and to curb carbon pollution. “Together, California and New York represent approximately 60 million people – nearly one-in-five Americans – and 20 percent of the nation’s gross domestic product. With or without Washington [D.C.], we will work with our partners throughout the world to aggressively fight climate change and protect our future,” part of the statement reads. Bill Peduto, Mayor of Pittsburgh will also follow the guidelines of the agreement.

You Can Join Them! 

While there is undoubtedly a whole lot that needs to be done from a governmental standpoint, we cannot forget the tremendous impact that we all can have every single day. The goal of the Paris Agreement is to lower global greenhouse gas emissions, and interestingly, many of the foods we eat everyday play a large role in those emissions.
On whole, industrial animal agriculture is responsible for more greenhouse gas emissions than the entire transportation sector. How is this? Well, we use a majority of the world’s freshwater and land resources to produce cheap meat and dairy. Cattle ranching is directly responsible for 80 percent of deforestation in the Amazon, while the area of deforested lands in South America used to produce soy for livestock is larger than Belgium, the Netherlands, France, and Germany combined. Considering a large portion of these goods are imported to the U.S., we are all complicit in the destruction. And this is literally only one example of how industrial animal agriculture impacts the planet (click here for more).
Pretty horrible, right? But what if we told you, we can all make a huge positive impact without even having to try that hard.
Choosing more plant-based foods over meat and dairy is one thing everyone can do todrastically reduce their impact on the environment. Knowing all that we do about the impact of meat consumption on the environment and animals, we are faced with a choice – either we can continue to buy into this destructive industry … or we can choose better.
You can start eating for the planet by doing nothing more than choosing a delicious plant-based meal over one laden with animal products. If you look at it from a personal perspective, you can cut your own carbon footprint in half just by leaving meat off your plate for one year. (Plus save a lot of water, redirect grain for people to eat, and help protect endangered species…)

You can #EatForThePlanet starting today. Just follow the three simple steps below.

1. Moderate: Limit consumption of your favorite meats like beef, lamb, pork, etc.
2. Replace: Try to swap animal-based products in your daily diet with vegan alternatives (milk, butter, mayo, cheese, grilled chicken, beef crumbles, sausages, cold cuts, etc.)
3. Embrace: Add plant-based whole foods (local and organic when possible) to your diet like greens, fresh fruits, and vegetables, whole grains, plant proteins like lentils, nuts/seeds, beans, tofu, etc.
As Nil Zacharias, the co-founder of One Green Planet says, “Eat in a way that nourishes you without starving the planet.”
Considering the fact that many experts have shown that we cannot meet our collective goal to escape a 2 degree Celcius temperature change without reducing our global meat consumption, this is one of the most important things you can do to help. We all have the power to create a better future for our children, and the countless animals we share the planet with, by making one easy swap. If you’re ready to start doing this in your own life, check outOne Green Planet’s #EatForThePlanet campaign.

No Mr. Scheer, do not play with an Axe!

Dear Joseph,
As you probably know by now, the Conservatives chose Andrew Scheer as their new leader on the weekend.

During the leadership race, Mr. Scheer made his views about the CBC and public broadcasting well known. In short, he wants to axe CBC News.

I am writing to ask you to invest in a new FRIENDS campaign to counter this threat.
Mr. Scheer and his team’s enthusiastic hostility toward public broadcasting is fueled by the opinions of the Conservative Party ‘base’ from whom they have been soliciting support. This is a small but vocal minority whoseviews about the CBC are extreme and far outside the mainstream of Canadians who support and value the CBC.
We know this because we have just completed an opinion research project comparing the views of Conservative Party members with those of Canadians.
This project contains a vital lesson for Mr. Scheer: to gain traction with Canadians, you need to reconsider your hostility towards public broadcasting.
Encouraging the Conservative Party to do a 180-degree turn on its CBC policy won’t be easy, but with your help we can make it happen. That’s why I am writing.
We have the information we need to persuade Mr. Scheer that calling for the dismantling of CBC News is a dead end for the Conservatives – putting them in conflict with the views of an overwhelming majority of Canadians, including those Canadians who would consider voting Conservative.
FRIENDS commissioned Nanos Research to poll Canadians and Mainstreet Research to poll Conservative voting delegates. The results demonstrate a deep dividebetween the 259,010 Conservative Party paid-up members and the rest of us 36 million Canadians when it comes to the CBC.
Andrew Scheer has spent the past year fighting to gain support from CBC-phobic members of the Conservative Party. Meanwhile, ordinary Canadians value the CBC as much as ever, and passionately understand the importance of public broadcasting.
We have a plan to get this information out but we need your help to do it with maximum effect!
We want to start with advertising in Ottawa, then turn up the heat in the ridings of key Conservatives when they return home after the adjournment of Parliament in late June.

This is a big new campaign for FRIENDS, and a crucial one.

If we act now, Andrew Scheer and his CBC-bashing supporters may be persuaded to drop their extreme policy, not because of a change of heart, but rather because those opinions will interfere with their priority to connect with the voters they need if they are to contend for the hearts and minds of Canadians. Re-visiting their CBC hostility is a pre-condition of connecting with these voters.
Please give generously to this important campaign.
Please make an investment in protecting the CBC now
Regards,
Ian Morrison

FRIENDS of Canadian Broadcasting
PS: This could be a defining moment for supporters of public broadcasting.  We have to roll up our sleeves and make sure that Mr. Scheer and his Conservatives understand Canadians will not stand for more CBC bashing.
