Twenty-one Greenpeace activists were at Ft. McMurray, Alberta again protesting what they claim is dirty oil. Would you believe they floated down the Athabasca River 20 miles to the oils sands plant. The point I am going to try and make here is that Ft. McMurray is a 5 hours drive north of Edmonton. Did Greenpeace drive some environmental friendly bus all that way or did they take their 8 cylinder SUV's like they normally would? Several of the activists were from Europe. Did they fly to Canada as they usually would or use a sailboat that used no fuel??
Here comes the Greenpeace is a hypocrite part. Greenpeace should be setting the example for all of us (you would think) by cutting back on their carbon footprint instead of making things worse. Money people donate to Greenpeace is going into oil company coffers. Greenpeace is protesting against an oil company while at the same time they are using the very product their protesting about. Where is the sense in that? Go figure. Lately it seems as though "environmental activist" has become synonymous with "hypocrite."
