So, what’s next? Well, in today’s Seafood Source Greenpeace made it plainly obvious what’s next, “we are not going to promise anyone that we won't be showing up at their doorstep."
Ahhh yes, the tried and true, old school methodology of a once influential organization—direct action. Protests, banners, vandalism, you name it Greenpeace is getting ready for it. Despite the fact that as an organization Greenpeace signed an Accountability Charter that promises its agents will not be involved in “illegal or unethical practices.” But that’s just how they do things. Constructive engagement isn’t their thing but their latest report reveals that neither is science or facts.
Media, be forewarned this is where Greenpeace counts on you to be lemmings. Far be it from me to tell you what’s news but someone dressed up in a fish costume, wearing a sandwich board, parading outside a local grocery store isn’t quite Pulitzer worthy. Bored, rich, suburban kids with ski masks on spray painting “More Marine Reserves Now” on the side of a retailer probably won’t get you that Emmy.
The important part about news is that it’s new. These tactics are old and tired just like the organization that keeps recycling them.
