Have you turned away from the Dark Side?
Greenpeace have raised the bar again with their new click here to help me get a campaign t-shirt.)
Plenty of e-campaigning activity this month, with work days planned in London, Amsterdam and Manchester, and a possible Cardiff/Bristol day under discussion.
Regards,
Duane
