The following article captures well the disintegration of Greenpeace, as it is no longer a leading people's voice for ecology, but rather has emerged as just another bloated, compromised environmental corporation. I canvassed for GP in the late 1980s, and it was a magical organization offering hope for radical change. Now its campaigns are tepid and compromising, for example supporting industrial logging in ancient rainforests if it is "certified". It's Greenpeace's current corporate leadership which has become certifiably insane. In our own small way Ecological Internet tries to capture some of Greenpeace of old's magic, campaigning for solutions to ecological issues that are sufficient to solve the problems, rather than just tinkering around the edges of environmental and social injustices like Greenpeace and other big mainstream groups.

Greenpeace has fallen. Others must emerge if the Earth and her humanity are to be saved.

Where did it all go wrong with Greenpeace? For, make no mistake, the effectiveness of what was once the world's leading environmental organisation - with the power to bend governments and force corporations to bend to its will - has been in freefall over many years, in direct relation to an inner moral decline. Today, while Greenpeace is an environmental organisation, it is not an ecological one... As the world's ecological situation gets increasingly desperate and in need of the hope, possibilities and radical suggestions Greenpeace might once have given, the group is now utterly moribund.
