The MSV Fennica is tied up in Dutch Harbor in Unalaska on July 11, 2015. Crew members and a harbor pilot discovered a leak in the Fennica’s ballast tank, on July 10, forcing the vessel back to Dutch. Reports say the gash measured approximately 39 inches long by less than a half an inch wide. The MSV Fennica is one of 29 vessels – and two icebreakers – that will head to the Chukchi Sea this summer in support of Shell’s planned arctic drilling operations. The vessel will be used primarily for ice reconnaissance and management, but also carries the well capping stack, a key piece of containment equipment that is considered the last line of defense in the case of a major blowout while drilling.

Greenpeace and Mosquito Fleet activists block a Kinder Morgan barge from entering the company’s Seattle facility by locking themselves to the pier and displaying banners. "The company's Trans Mountain Pipeline tramples Indigenous rights, threatens communities and their access to clean water, and the increased tanker traffic from the pipeline could decimate marine wildlife including the 76 remaining Southern Resident orcas,” said Greenpeace activist and Seattle resident Samantha Suarez.
Rev. Lennox Yearwood Jr.,of the Hip Hop Caucus addresses the press conference. Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chair Tom Perez said the party will not host an official primary debate on the climate crisis, and will restrict candidates from participating in third-party climate debates. In response, people gathered at the Democratic National Committee headquarters in Washington, DC, to demand the party reverse its stance and provide a forum for presidential hopefuls to debate one of the greatest threats facing humanity today. Over half the Democratic field has already endorsed the call for a climate debate. Organizers delivered more than 200,000 petition signatures from people across the country asking the DNC to listen to voters and organize a debate. The signatures were collected by CREDO Action, Greenpeace USA, Climate Hawks Vote, Oil Change U.S., Daily Kos, Friends of the Earth Action, Public Citizen, Endangered Species Coalition, People Demanding Action, CPD Action, Women's March National, Bold Nebraska, Bold Alliance, Amazon Watch, 350 Action, Sunrise Movement, Food & Water Action, NextGen America, US Youth Climate Strike, and MoveOn.

The Greenpeace Arctic Sunrise displays a banner message near the US Oil facility in Tacoma. The ship is on a tour following the route that would experience a seven-fold increase in tar sands tanker oil traffic if the pipeline expansion is completed. The report documents the communities threatened by the Trans Mountain Expansion Project, which would worsen the effects of global warming, risk poisoning water, jeopardize the hundreds of thousands of jobs that depend on clean coasts, violate Indigenous sovereignty, and threaten the extinction of the Southern Resident Orca Whale, of which only 75 remain.

The CT Scanner Laboratory provides imaging data that can be used for computer simulations, economic evaluations, and site characterizations. The scanner generates a three-dimensional (3-D) image of an object's structure by collecting and combining many 2-D X-ray images. Coal, rock, and other geological samples are imaged to measure how liquids, gases, and solids flow through them, or to measure other rock-fluid phenomena, such as how CO2 is adsorbed or absorbed in coal cores. The measurements provide information on the actual distribution of minerals and fluids inside samples, rather than providing merely average measurements.

Greenpeace USA activists sailed out on the San Francisco Bay with a message for Congress and the oil industry. The activists displayed a banner reading “Oil Is Over, The Future Is Up to You” next to the Amazon Falcon, one of dozens of crude oil tankers stuck off the California coast as the oil industry grinds to a halt. This action comes as Congress begins negotiations on the next COVID-19 stimulus package, and as the oil industry unleashes a lobbying frenzy in hopes of securing taxpayer dollars to prop up its obsolete business model.

The Greenpeace thermal airship A.E. Bates flies by Glacier National Park near Babb, Montana on August 4, 2014. The airship flew with banners reading, "Coal exports fuel climate change" and "Keep our coal in the ground" to highlight the risks of coal export and mining. Coal mining companies are trying to boost exports of publicly owned coal in Montana and Wyoming to Asia, which would mean more carbon pollution and disruption to the environment and communities in the Western United States.

We marched to BP Refinery strongly for Nayaano-nibiimaang Gichigamiin: The Great Lakes (The Five Freshwater Seas)
These tar sands poses catastrophic health risks to our Mother Earth, people and our wild rice water sheds and homelands as well as our sacred Anishinaabewi-gichigami: Lake Superior (Anishinaabe’s Sea)
We marched and sang along for:
Ininwewi-gichigami: Lake Michigan (Illinois’ Sea) where BP Refinery with their fracked Bakken tanks have invaded with their toxicity greed putting our sacred Gichigamiin at risk for pollution. Our 7th Generations will depend on this water, and clean air to survive. It's our duty to save our children's future. A path we must choose...for our survival.
Our message is clear, "You can't drink oil, no water no life." #LoveWaterNotOil

In collaboration with Copenhagen Business School, we organised our second TBLI CONFERENCE NORDIC event, addressing specifically the financial sector in Scandinavia and the UK. The program addressed topics relevant for investors and finance professionals striving to better align profits with impact - with a view across all asset classes.
This event marked the 30th TBLI CONFERENCE held since 1998.

Actress and director Bonnie Wright (R) joined Greenpeace USA activists including Kate Melges (L) at Coca-Cola headquarters to deliver the message that more than 585,000 people want the company to abandon single-use plastics.Greenpeace launched a global campaign spanning five continents on Coke in 2017. Greenpeace is urging the company to phase out throwaway plastic, introduce reusable containers and innovative delivery systems, and ensure that all remaining packaging is 100 percent recycled.
Greenpeace activists provided cupcakes and set up two 13' tall, 15' wide 'pinboards' outside of the Pinterest office in the SOMA neighborhood of San Francisco, California May 6, 2014. Each of the boards featured real-life 'pins' with the message "Make Our Pins Green". Designers, photographers and other influential Pinterest users who partnered with Greenpeace's #clickclean campaign for a green internet designed many of the pins on the boards.

On July 2, 2014 workers with heavy equipment use a thermal desorption process in what was formerly Steven Jensen's wheat field near Tioga, North Dakota. A Tesoro Logistics LP pipeline spilled more than 20,000 barrels of crude oil into the field in September of 2013. The six-inch pipeline was carrying crude oil from the Bakken shale play to the Stampede rail facility outside Columbus, North Dakota.
Thermal desorption involves excavating soil or other contaminated material for treatment in a thermal desorber. To prepare the soil for treatment, large rocks or debris first must be removed or crushed. The smaller particle size allows heat to more easily and evenly separate contaminants from the solid material. The prepared soil is placed in the thermal desorber to be heated. Low-temperature thermal desorption is used to heat the solid material to 200-600ºF to treat VOCs. If SVOCs are present, then high-temperature thermal desorption is used to heat the soil to 600-1000ºF.
Gas collection equipment captures the contaminated vapors. Vapors often require further treatment, such as removing dust particles. The remaining organic vapors are usually destroyed using a thermal oxidizer, which heats the vapors to temperatures high enough to convert them to carbon dioxide and water vapor. At some sites with high concentrations of organic vapors, the vapors may be cooled and condensed to change them back to a liquid form. The liquid chemicals may be recycled for reuse, or treated by incineration. If the concentrations of contaminants are low enough, and dust is not a problem, the vapors may be released without treatment to the atmosphere. Often, treated soil can be used to fill in the excavation at the site. If the treated soil contains contaminants that do not evaporate, such as most metals, they may be disposed of and capped onsite, or transported offsite to an appropriate landfill.
