Musicians perform ‘Requiem for Arctic ice’ - Greenpeace’s month-long run of Titanic-themed orchestral protests against Arctic drilling outside Shell’s offices on the South Bank. Greenpeace volunteers offer gift bags containing a copy of the music and whistle-blower email addresses to Shell UK staff encouraging them to challenge their bosses on Arctic drilling and urging them to change course. Shell's fleet is currently hovering at its Arctic drill site monitoring the melting ice edge, waiting to reach new oil fields under the melting ice edge. An oil spill in the remote Arctic would be impossible to clean up, leaving local people and wildlife to suffer the consequences for years.
