rew wanted to save whales

The Japanese whaling fleet has set out to kill 945 whales this year. Greenpeace is setting out as well to stop them. But not just with a ship: we're launching an online community of virtual crew to defend the whales.

Closing Date: 31 May 2007

JOB DESCRIPTION: Become a Greenpeace campaigner by signing on to http://whales.greenpeace.org in order to create a truly global campaign to defend the whales.

BACKGROUND: Greenpeace actions against whaling fleets brought about a moratorium on commercial whaling over twenty years ago. However, in recent years, against the wishes of more than 70% of Japanese people and in the face of international condemnation, the Fisheries Agency of Japan has spent millions of dollars of Japanese taxpayers money pursuing a campaign to reintroduce commercial whaling and the hunting of endangered species.

LOCATION: Anywhere in the world where you can log on to: http://whales.greenpeace.org and take action.

QUALIFICATIONS: Possess great ideas, is willing to campaign relentlessly to defend the whales and ensure the Southern Ocean becomes a true sanctuary for all whales. Has a positive and constructive approach, racist jerks need not apply.

REWARDS: Become part of the biggest crew to sail to the Southern Ocean, just by surfing the Internet. Have your idea used by the Greenpeace crew to defend the whales in the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary.
