Greenpeace’s Iconic ‘Rainbow Warrior’ Ship Chopped Up On A Third-World Beach, Sold For Scrap

Greenpeace quietly admitted in November one of its “Rainbow Warrior” boats was “scrapped on a beaching yard in Bangladesh” — a method it spent years campaigning against.

“We have made a mistake, one that we have tried to correct,” Greenpeace International, based in Amsterdam, admitted in mid-November, adding it allowed Rainbow Warrior II “to be scrapped on a beaching yard in Bangladesh, in a way that does not live up to the standards we set ourselves and campaigned with our allies to have adopted across the world.”

However, the embarrassing admission from one of the world’s largest and most prominent environmental groups flew under the radar of major news outlets. Greenpeace quietly put out a press release on its international website, which few noticed.

Greenpeace International did not respond to The Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.

I was in Alaska in 2005 GREEN PEACE HAD A VESSEL SITTING ANCHORED AND VACANT SINCE THEY HAD NO EMERGENCY PLAN OR EQUIPMENT ON BOARD. They said to Juneau to protest some BS but the Coast Guard shut them down real fast.

On a bright note DC. Is saving the world from plastic straws while they murder each other on the streets over little plastic bags of white stuff.
