Dear Friends
You've all done FANTASTIC work sending letters to the Japanese government demanding the release of the Tokyo Two -- we just passed the Update number 185,000 mark! That's more than 14,000 protest emails sent to Japan's Prime Minister and Foreign Minister every day since Greenpeace Japan's whale activists were arrested.
But, the court has ruled that Junichi and Toru, arrested in Japan for exposing corruption in the whaling industry, can be held without charge for the maximum 23 days allowed under Japanese law. We need to increase the pressure on the Japanese government now if there is any hope that we can get them released soon.
Please read on, we've got a message from Japan and a list of things you can do to help some more.
Message from the front line
Junichi asked us to send you the following message:
"Thank you everyone for your support and vigilance over the last days. Thank you to the Update number185,000 of you who have sent the email to the Japanese Government asking for our release, and those of you who have sent it to your friends. We have heard from our lawyers about how many emails that have been sent, and it reminds us that we are not alone. Thank you also to those who mounted peaceful protests and vigils at Japanese Embassies around the world calling for justice for myself and Toru and justice for the whales. It helps us to know that so many are thinking of us and of the fate of the whales.
We STILL need your help. We have been ordered to remain in custody for a total of 23 days -- the maximum allowed under Japanese law -- without being charged with any crime.
Please encourage your friends to send an email if they have not already. Keep watching for news from Greenpeace of more actions you can take and make sure that the global demand for our release and to investigate the whale meat scandal we exposed, is heard loud and clear here in Japan.
With hope and thanks
Junichi Sato, Whale Campaign Coordinator Greenpeace Japan

Climate Change

Climate Change Facts
What is Climate Change?
Climate change refers to the phenomenon that is causing the earth to become warmer which means that our climate and our weather systems are changing. This may sound like something vague and futuristic but in fact climate change is a reality. Today, the earth is hotter than it has been in two thousand years:
1990s was the warmest decade
1998 was the warmest year
Snow cover is down 10% in the last 40 years

What causes it?
Most scientists now agree that human activity is largely responsible for climate change and that the choices we make today will decide the future of our climate.
Most of the energy we use to heat our homes, for electricity and transport comes from fossil fuels such as oil, gas and coal
When fossil fuels are burned, they release carbon dioxide which is the main greenhouse gas
Greenhouse gases cause the earth to heat up by trapping the sun’s heat in the earth’s atmosphere – acting like a greenhouse.

Save Forest-Save Our Planet

Man is destroying forests to build dams and cultivate land, "they born to destroy". Trees are cut recklessly for fuel for manufacturing paper, for building houses,furniture etc. He is killing wild animals for food, for their skin and other purposes. This should be stopped. Instead of destroying forests,we should preserve, protect and increase the area under forests. Forests are our national wealth.They have been helping to maintain ecological balance.The carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is keeping our earth warm. The trees provide man with the necassary wood for construction of houses ,raw materials for industries ,furnitures and medicines. They help in soil preservation, cool the atmosphere and thus bring rain. Save Our Planet, Act Now!!!, Thank's to environment activist.
