Supermarket giant Tesco is taking whale meat off the shelves in its Japanese stores - just days before the deadline we set them. The UK's leading retailer was selling fresh and canned whale meat across Japan until we pressed it to stop supporting whaling. Japan kills more than 800 whales in the North Pacific and Antarctic each year, flouting a worldwide ban on commercial whaling. Read the full story and see how every little helps! |

Thirteen of our volunteers who stopped a shipment of genetically modified crops from entering the UK have had a charge against them dropped. The charge alleged that they had endangered the safety of the MV Etoile when they stopped it docking at Bristol to unload its GM cargo in June. South Wales Magistrates Court ruled that our volunteers had no case to answer, but they must still stand trial on another charge. |

As a taste of what's to come under a second Bush term, one of President Bush's climate advisors has just said that global warming is a myth. Myron Ebell, a director at the Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI), told Radio 4 that climate change claims are "ridiculous, unrealistic and alarmist". Esso, the world's largest oil company, gives vast sums to groups that spread doubt about climate science. The CEI is one of them. |
