Interview with Ruth Davis - Save the Arctic (Part II)
Greenpeace’s “Save the Arctic” campaign has had several different high-profile initiatives, including the “Arctic Ready” website collecting fake Shell ads, phalanxes of polar bears protesting at Shell stations around the world, and the highly-publicized recent action at the Prirazlomnoya platform in Russia. But the campaign can seem like something of a blunt instrument – polar bears good; Shell bad. But is that really all there is? In this podcast, Tom Fries talks with Ruth Davis, Senior Political Advisor at Greenpeace International, about the particular policies that Greenpeace is looking for, how the “Save the Arctic” campaign fits in to the broader portfolio of Greenpeace’s activities, and why it is that Greenpeace feels people outside the Arctic should have a say in what is done there.
