Day 2 @ Greenpeace *happy dance*
I am now interning with Greenpeace

Civil disobedience at its best.

Its no secret that Greenpeace is known for their civil disobedience. So when I found out that Greenpeace activist were hanging from an oil rig in the Arctic demanding Cairn Energy to "pack up and go home", I was more amused than surprised. I love it!

So apparently, the activist had to flee Danish navy commandos to get to the rig where they then suspended their selves into the air using ropes to hang from the rig. They are said to have enough supplies to stay suspended for several days.

If they are able to halt the drilling for just a short time, Cairn Energy will struggle to meet a tight deadline to complete its exploration before winter ice conditions force it to abandon the search for oil off Greenland until next year.

They are already doing the hard part. Do YOUR part! Which is pretty simple and easy.
