Group Action Day Against Shell in Germany

Greenpeace activists in more than 55 German cities are collecting cleaning rags at Shell's gas stations against the company's plans to drill in the Arctic for oil. Greenpeace volunteers are asking people on the street to write a personalized message on a cleaning rag. Those thousands of cleaning rags will be stitched together to one big one to symbolize how absurd it is to believe that a possible oil spill in the Arctic can be easily cleaned away.
