Sharing this screenshot of the Greenpeace Southeast Asia page from November 2005. This was when I was doing digital campaign and editorial support for the Philippine leg of the Asia Clean Energy Tour of the Rainbow Warrior 2 the Philippines. I got this from WayBackMachine it was apparently not archived under the new website, which I think is a shame because this was during a historical moment for the organization where an unfortunate accident was turned around because of the rapid response work that saw the organization owe up to its responsibility and bring word of it as soon as possible to the public in the days before social media.
My first year working for Greenpeace was life-changing as it coincided with the time that the organization was faced with the biggest organizational ecological flashpoint moments ranging from oil and cyanide spills; to violent dispersals and arrests of our activists; to having our flagship run aground a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Over the years the organization has changed from the one that I joined, but such is the case in all things.
In spite of that, I'm happy that they are still around and fighting the good fight. Happy 50th Greenpeace.
