this guy is actually the worst thing that could happen to greenpeace. I have just read that he announced to support genetic manipulated rice. Either this guy is totally corrupted by Monsanto or he is totally dumb, and actually believes the advertising campeigns of these greedy companies.

In either way I will stop supporting greenpeace

@redpoint777 The article that you read misinterpreted some statements that were made about Greenpeace's continual reassessment of science and research to determine our policy positions. It was not an endorsement of genetically manipulated rice.

As a long time Greenpeace supporter, I welcome you! Greenpeace made an excellent choice in choosing Kumi Naidoo.

It still has positive results though. In fact, working outside the system may ensure less compromise than working within.

Get an eductation and work INSIDE the goverment to make REAL policies. Instead, all you guys are doing is staying OUTSIDE the goverment, making stupid banners and complain about policies.

I'm a Japanese woman supporting GPJ.

GPJ has been speaking out to the cruel policy like the egoistic whaling tour　and the nuclear power project kept on by Japanese Government had been spoken out for the worldpeace.

We Japanese must listen to GP and change ourselvse. Always with GP.
