Getting down with Greenpeace
Check it homies, tonight I'm totally rocking to a Greenpeace meeting......
Why?
The world is getting a bit crap, and I wanted to hang with some people that were passionate about something bigger than their own lives.
Leaving Sydney Soon?
Yup, this is a totally good chance to check them out, with a totally valid reason for blowing out if they turn out to be crazy, cultish, overly hippyish, etc.
If they are cool, then I can rock along to the Melbourne Greenpeace thing with a clue on what I'm getting into.
What can I do?
Well, the information night I went to seemed a bit antiquated and slightly unprofessional and unenthusiastic. I've got some good ideas to improve the ways they operate and to maximise their impacts. Also, I might want to rock in and play devils advocate to make sure their stuff is clued up.
Chances of dressing up as something?
99.9% chance of dressing up as a chicken, barrel of toxic waste, etc. Good times ahead my friend, good times.
Chances of being arrested?
Pretty freakin' good the dude reckons. Not sure how I feel about that. I'm all in for saving the world, but since I contract and change jobs all the time I need to maintain a 'no blips on the radar'. I've got a head for planning, but a head for excitement.... we'll have to see how this goes.
Why do they drink so much?
For some reason, the average Action =
1. saving the world
2. opening some tinnies/going down the pub
Why so few volunteers?
They currently have 20 active volunteers in the Sydney local group. I think its because they ask for a fair amount of commitment from their volunteers. This is something I intend to change, it seems silly to have such a massive turnover when everyone wants to help in some manner.
Will I totally put my back into it, then get enthused about something else and move on?
Maybe.

Heh, that's funny. I've gotten over the moving thing as well. No more. Not for a long time. No more housemates either. People in really close quarters really suck.
I'm all for Greenpeace, being a nuclear free Kiwi girl.
20 years this month since those goddamn French bastards bombed the Rainbow Warrior....so Greenpeace and the amazing work they do, and the awareness they raise is very much in my mind at the moment.
Hello Muffin n Mermaid n Adam - I am old and remember the Greenpeace Murder. Everybody wents nuts and stopped buying Chanel and Peugeot, but that only lasted 6 weeks.
The 2 frog bastards who actually did the deed, were holed-up on an Island somewhere, and got let off with a slap on the wrist. That reminds me, the frogs tested a nuclear bomb on Mururoa Atoll and gave us all the shits.Everybody wents nuts and stopped buying Chanel and Peugeot, but that only lasted 6 weeks.
Darling Crystal, if you remembering the Rainbow Warrior bombing makes you old then I must be too!
My mother took me down to the wharf to see it, half submerged. I was seven.
It was a crazy and somewhat defining time for New Zealand... I love France, as a country but what they did, and with the directive coming from such a high level, it is unforgivable.
