Toxic Greenwash Hazard in Greenpeace Business Lecture

maqui | 01.02.2005 11:30 | Ecology | London

The 4th Greenpeace Business Conference took place on Tuesday 25th January 2005 at the Royal Society of Arts and was delivered by Lord Oxburgh, Chairman of Shell.

Wearing protective radiation suits and wielding home-made greenwash detection and clean-up equipment, The Greenwash Guerrillas were on site to declare the event a 'Toxic Greenwash Hazard', whilst passers-by and would-be attendees were advised to move away from the building. Those insisting on entry were warned that direct physical contact with the levels of ‘Corporate Social Responsibility’ (CSR) anticipated could cause long-term damage to spiritual health. Not to mention the likelihood of becoming a bit-player in a Shell-choreographed CSR soap opera. Full Report and Photos

For several years Greenpeace have acted as free environmetnal consultants to big business, eg with their work on 'eco friendly' cars and fridges. It's nice to see someone point out the problems with this. But, do you think it was worth it? Were you aiming to have an impact on individuals within Greenpeace, the companies present or what? I'm not asking this to be arkward - I'm genuinely interested - what do you think the protest achieved?
