I really hope the polar bear cubs appreciate all this activity

The vigil ends | Greenpeace UK

It had been a busy evening at Kingsnorth. At around 10pm, the team battling with technical problems while occupying E.on's island came back to the boat to project images of climate change and the slogan 'Gordon bin it' from the bow.

When E.on realised what they were up to, they brought out two bulldozers to try and block the projector beam. Fun and games ensued. For several hours. We briefly managed to project the image onto Kingsnorth's chimney but, for most of the night, E.on's bulldozer had a bright, white "dirty e.on" blazed across its bucket. No matter which way it moved, the message was clear and eventually, E.on resorted to posting a man underneath the bulldozer, shining a torch at the message in an attempt to dim it. All highly symbolic (the lengths E.on will go to to hide the fact they're the UK's single biggest polluter) - or at least so it seemed to me after a very long day.
