Solarizing Greece

Greenpeace volunteers visited the island of Rhodes and discussed with locals about the construction of the new oil power plant in the island. The country’s dependence on imported fossil fuels is one of the most unacknowledged causes of the Greek crisis.

Our volunteers visited the famous surfers’ beach of Prasonisi, a few miles away from the new oil power plant and listened to locals and tourists worries about the negative consequences of construction to the beach. These activities also launched Greenpeace Greece’s new crowdfunding campaign “Solarize Greece” that aims to install solar panels to houses of families in need at Rhodes and pave Greece’s way out of the crisis.
