Hundreds of activists launch floating protest against new Arctic drilling rig
Hundreds of activists launch floating protest against new Arctic drilling rig: Sunday 17 May 2015
Hundreds of activists decked out in neoprene wetsuits and life jackets took to the water off Seattle in kayaks, canoes, paddleboards and other vessels to send the message that Royal Dutch Shell should cancel its plan to drill in the Arctic Ocean.
The “Shell No” protest was held nearby to where Shell’s Polar Pioneer drilling rig is docked.
Once out on the water, kayakers gathered in formation and hoisted signs and banners that read: “Climate Justice,” “Oil-Free Future” and “We can’t burn all the oil on the planet and still live on it.” Many had posters or red scarfs that had the Shell logo with crossed kayak paddles underneath, resembling the skull-and-crossbones image.
The TRUTH will set you FREE.
