Homeless Polar Bear in Switzerland

For a sixth time a Greenpeace activist dressed as polar bear visits Widen where Shell’s CEO Peter Voser has a weekend home. With these actions Greenpeace is drawing attention to Shell's plans to start drilling in the Alaskan Arctic this summer, despite the extreme cold, the threat from passing icebergs, the poor visibility and the remoteness greatly raises the risk of a spill.
