Greenpeace Campaigners Include Lucy Lawless in NZ Shell Protest

Lucy Lawless joins Greenpeace action against Arctic oil drilling. Right now Greenpeace activists are stopping a Shell drill ship from leaving the Port of Taranaki in New Zealand for the Arctic. Climbers - including actress Lucy Lawless - have scaled the rig's drill derrick and set up camp, equipped with enough gear to last for days.
