Greenpeace: why we're asking Shell staff to face the music over Arctic drilling

We're calling on those lower down the ladder than the bosses pushing through these dangerous plans to question the trajectory that Shell is taking

On Monday 3 August, Greenpeace began a musical marathon: daily performances outside Shell's London HQ of a Requiem for Arctic Ice, created to highlight the company's reckless attempts to drill for oil in the Alaskan Arctic this summer.

Inspired by the brave string quartet that played as the Titanic sank, a huge range of musicians from string quartets to brass bands will join the movement calling on Shell to get out of the Arctic. We're also calling on staff in the company to blow the whistle on Arctic drilling before it's too late.
