Muckety mover - Greenpeace antics lose relevance

With the green movement going mainstream, Greenpeace may be getting jaded.

In the early days, members grabbed headlines with outrageous tactics. AP called them “the shock troops of the environmental movement.”

Activists hung anti-nuke banners on Big Ben, scaled smokestacks, boarded cargo ships.

Now the face of the environmental movement is not the protester in handcuffs, but Al Gore the peace prize winner.

Greenpeace, sticking with the same old tactics, has become the antisocial misfit.

    first, the nobel peace prize is not the determining factor on those who can progress the environmental movement further, but an award given by the rich to make their friends look better. second, did al gore drop a banner off of mount rushmore or dive in to the bering sea and find a new species that would protect the area? all al gore did was make a movie with misleading facts while his multi million dollar house ate up tons of fossil fuels.
    my advice is to not critique the groups who “reuse the same old tactics” but write better articles that make a factual point…oh, and maybe do a bit more research.
