I would like to add my own interest in learning about what Greenpeace
actually does on this tour. I have been sensing a swing away from direct
action by Greenpeace, to a "lobbying" approach. In the past, there would
have been Greenpeace divers blocking discharge pipes of toxic waste in
rivers; what will there be with this trip? Anyone who has info on this,
please post it.
Thanks.
