When you’ve been occupying a coal ship or a crane for several hours, it is inevitable that at some point nature will call. A urine bottle for one of our activists means that no matter how long they’re hanging on, they don’t have to hang on. It’s a small but very important part of a non-violent direct action.
Greenpeace was started in 1971 by a small group of Canadian activists who sailed to Alaska in an old fishing boat to bear witness the US underground nuclear testing. Tirelessly campaigning in 40 countries across the globe, Greenpeace has 2.8 million supporters worldwide, 221,000 followers in the UK alone. Greenpeace use research, technology and diplomacy to pursue its goal for a healthier planet.
