| Keep the GE giants out of Rice
The count down to World Food Day has begun, in less that 10 days we need to get our message across to the UN's Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) that GE rice is not wanted and not needed in the world. It is up to us to remind them that rice is access to life, and that sustainability of rice production is tied to equity and rights, which in turn is linked to environmental protection and ecological diversity.
Thousands of you have already sent letters and emailed your friends the animation but we need more of you to do the same, in the run up to World Food Day on October 16. Let's call on the FAO to get back to the real agenda of 'Rice for Life', and get governments to actively promote ecological and cultural diversity as well as socially and ecologically sustainable rice production.

| Exxon to Greenpeace: Stay away
The Russian moves to ratify the Kyoto protocol are good news for the planet, bad news for the world's number one environmental criminal, ExxonMobil/Esso. To ensure the US continues to oppose action on climate change, the company is telling its staff, retirees, and contractors how to vote. It's part of the Exxon strategy of putting political friends in power and silencing its critics: Greenpeace among them.
Exxon has secured court injunctions in several countries to keep Greenpeace away from Exxon property. We're actually really happy to do so, and we are asking you to do likewise: please, everyone, stay away from ExxonMobil and Esso properties! To make sure we're all clear about this, send a message now promising Exxon that you'll stay away. Tell them you won't buy their product, won't go near their pumps, and won't contribute to the war chest that they are using to silence critics and to battle the truth about global warming.

| Cyberaction Victory in Japan!
Japan's biggest beer company Asahi Breweries announced it has suspended the introduction of a newly developed plastic beer bottle thanks to pressure from our cyberactivists in Japan supporting the Japanese Zero Waste Campaign. Greenpeace Japan was working against Asahi Breweries because of its decision to use "recycle-unfriendly and unreturnable" PET plastic bottles for their beer. The brewery was targeted via letters, cyberactions and a web opinion poll. After about two month of campaigning, the company phoned Greenpeace Japan to tell the campaigners that it was suspending its plans.

| Victory: No shipbreaking in beautiful Bolama Beach!
The beautiful Bolama Beach in the West African country of Guinea Bissau will not turn into a scrapyard for old toxic ships. Spanish companies cancelled their plans after thousands of Greenpeace cyberactivists from all over the world sent concerned messages to UNESCO in 2003. 'A major victory!' says Marietta Harjono, Greenpeace shipbreaking campaigner.
