British Conservatives pledge cash for recycling and green investment
quot; Reacting to Mr Osborne's speech Greenpeace executive director John Sauven said: "A new bank to drive money into green investment is a good proposal. "We now need clarity on how the Conservatives would make this sufficiently ambitious to provide the tens of billions needed to create a low carbon economy and develop new green industries.

Did Greenpeace cave in to Kimberly-Clark?
It would appear that the answer is a probable yes... by Michael Smith (Veshengro) In many other instance they go over the top, and not Greenpeace alone, and give the green movement a bad press and here they seem to have entirely caved in to the paper industry.
