Greenpeace Spending Itself Into a Hole on Travel
Flying all over the planet spewing allegedly harmful carbon emissions isn't cheap. Greenpeace's heavy travel costs are taking a toll:
The latest accounts of Greenpeace Australia Pacific show it has slumped into the red after a big jump in personnel expenses.
The company suffered a $1.5 million turnaround, losing $193,992 and ringing up a $438,475 deficit on the operating cash-flow front. …
Travel looked to have soaked up a pretty penny, with Greenpeace personnel visiting Tokyo, Niue, Pohnpei, South Korea, Poland and Papua New Guinea, while Greenpeace vessel MV Esperanza toured seven east-coast Australian cities and treated more than 5000 visitors to its take on climate change.
The Esperanza also was involved in the Forests for Climate tour in Papua New Guinea.
Maybe Greenpeace crusaders should show us by example how not to generate so much CO2. It won't really make any difference in the weather, but it would help them balance their books.

Green Peace was taken over years ago by hairy, smelly, drug deteriorated, mental midgets.
Then...
They got quietly taken over by the juvenile leftist watermellons of today. They are such a bunch of hypocritical pocket pickers. This does not surprise me. While their superior rip-off artists practice their creative bookkeeping in the District of Criminals, these butt monkies go junketing around the world on money collected from the brigade of useful idiots.
How it makes me smile to see them bankrupt this 'way beyond its shelf life' organization. Shadenfruede.

Green$piece is a huge scam. These fish huggers spend 95% of their time on-vacation. They work on their suntans while they cruise the globe looking for "evil" fisher persons...all on the sucker's...ah I mean donor's nickel, nice work if you can get it.

Well, there you go. A Greenpeace flunky had only just shown up on the doorstep looking for a handout- "for the Cause". He seemed so desperate I almost felt sorry for the bugger. Almost.

That's for sure. Greenpeace Australia were advertising a mid-level media relations/campaigning type position recently - the pau was about AUD65,000+ (which is decent for a mid-level salary in Australia, although not brilliant.) The "working" hours: 14 hours a week. That's right, 14 hours a WEEK. I, and most other people I know, more often do 14 hours in a day...
