Fighting for a green and peaceful future includes speaking out against the unjust, racist, and systemic violence facing Black people in the US. All Black Lives Matter banner hanging at the Greenpeace USA headquarters in Washington DC following the conviction of Derek Chauvin, the police officer who killed George Floyd. The banner was painted by local artist Oliver James (@theartistoliverjames). The artist created an African mud cloth pattern as the background with the words All Black Lives Matter to lift up the importance that all Black lives- trans, women, dark skinned etc. matter.

Greenpeace responds to Coca-Cola recycled plastics announcement
Washington, DC – Coca-Cola announced today that it is rolling out 100% recycled plastic bottles for several of its brands in select markets across the United States this year. In its announcement, Coke claims the changes will reduce the company’s new fossil fuel plastic by more than 20% in North American compared to 2018. Coca-Cola produces over 100 billion plastic bottles each year. Coke was recently named the world’s worst plastic polluter following global cleanups and brand audits for the third year in a row.
