Shell abandons Arctic plans - Greenpeace International response
Others | NETHERLANDS | 29 Sep, 2015
Published by : Ecotechtube
Amsterdam, 28 September 2015 - Responding to the news that Shell has abandoned its Arctic drilling programme after a disappointing season in Alaska, Greenpeace International Executive Director Kumi Naidoo said:
"This is a defining day for the Arctic. It's a huge victory for the millions of people who stood up against Shell and a disaster for other oil companies with interests in the region. Shell has gambled big and lost big, both in terms of financial cost and its public reputation. This has become the most controversial oil project in the world, and despite its bluster Shell has been forced to walk away with nothing.
"It's time to make the Arctic ocean off limits to all oil companies. This may be the best chance we get to create permanent protection for the Arctic and make the switch to renewable energy instead. If we are serious about dealing with climate change we will need to completely change our current way of thinking. Drilling in the melting Arctic is not compatible with this shift.
"Greenpeace's campaign to save the Arctic will continue with passion and increased strength. We are campaigning for a protected sanctuary in international waters around the North Pole, and we hope that vision is one step closer after today."

The Protest
(Year 2013) 35 'polar bears' and activists gains access to Shell's Fredericia Refinery in Denmark for http://savethearctic.org - one of six Shell refineries in Europe -- to protest the company's plans to drill in the melting Arctic. The polar bears 'rebranded' the refinery with an altered version of the Shell logo -- the same image which was used to subvert the company's image at the F1 Grand Prix in Belgium on Sunday.
