    Message Delievered at G-20

    Greenpeace activists, rappelled off of some of Pittsburghís iconic bridges with massive banners displaying their message to Group of 20 leaders gathering for the September 24 summit. The banners, one nearly 80-feet by 30-feet in size, take the form of stylized ìroad signsî that warn of the political maneuvering and delay that have put a international climate treaty in jeopardy as the world enters the final stretch on the road to Copenhagen. The banners were hung in the downtown area on September 23, 2009.

      This is the dumbest shit I've ever seen. This is doing nothing but wasting tax payer money. Get a life, protesting doesn't change a thing. Barack Obama is not watching the news saying, "Hey maybe we should change what we're doing." You guys are a bunch of LAMES!!!!

      What is anyone doing about making connections with corporate industries? It seems to me that is the root of the problem trying to understand industries real needs and how they can be met in other ways so that we can resolve issues with climate change.

      I supported Greenpeace all my life. Today, they lost me.
