UK Greenpeace Campaign



Greenpeace has several campaign: Climate change, forests, oceans, agriculture, toxic pollution, and nuclear. Greenpeace UK campaign against oil fracking in Lancashire, England is the focus here. “Fracking is the process of drilling down into the earth before a high-pressure water mixture is directed at the rock to release the gas inside. Water, sand and chemicals are injected into the rock at high pressure which allows the gas to flow out to the head of the well” (BBC News). 

The problem is that there are people such as Cuadrilla Chief Executive, Francis Egan, who wants to frack for shale gas underneath people’s homes. Greenpeace are posting videos on their UK Facebook catching fracking boss on camera. They even have a twitter account that dose the same thing as Facebook. On Greenpeace UK website there are several links to anti-fracking or fracking information. They even have an event such as the anti-fracking beer launch party. This will definitely get the attention of young adults and older ones; you can’t say no to beer.
