Greenpeace Pictures of the Week
Political and economic elites endanger the environment and the rights of the population through their decisions, which is why active, peaceful resistance and public documentation are necessary as means of justice and protection.
The message is loud and clear: Defend your freedoms + Defend your rights = Defend the planet. RESIST!
The text presents a selection of photographs that document current protest actions by the environmental organization Greenpeace in various countries. At the center are the support for accused activists in Spain, the demand for political accountability in Brazil, and the documentation of forest fires in Indonesia. Further images show protests against bills in New Zealand and campaigns against billionaires as well as deep-sea mining in the United States. The message of the images is that the world is watching and that political decisions as well as economic practices have direct effects on the environment and the health of the population. The text emphasizes the role of photo-activism as a means to expose environmental injustice and to bear witness. A connection is established between political power, economic interests, and ecological destruction. The actions of the activists are portrayed as peaceful resistance against perceived threats to nature and the community.
