I’d question supporting Greenpeace.
Environmental responsibility demands organisations which encourage grass roots, demcratic, activism, not seek to ignore that process.
The example I cite is Greenpeace’s repeated use of email-bombing techniques to bully demcrocatic representatives, which only has the effect of destroying their own reputation. One example: a mailbombing campaign by Greenpeace caused a complaint in the House of Commons:
http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm200809/cmhansrd/cm090126/debtext/90126-0004.htm
The mad bit – this was directed at people who *supported* their position.
The mind boggles.
I’d call Greenpeace a small directorate and an army of useful idiots. Please don’t be one of them.
Maybe. It is really up to readers which organisations they support.
This is primarily a landlord and tenant blog which has a monthly charity feature. Charities are drawn from quite a wide area, and are not limited to housing charities (although these tend to predominate). If you want to suggest any other charities you consider more worthy please do so.
