Can Greenpeace clean the Pacific garbage patch?

I was wondering if they were to use the Great Pacific garbage patch through your tax payers dollars instead of something ridiculous like roads under tunnels with drilling machines that look like they come straight out of star wars burring under your cities of seattle and london whilst creating tunnels to boot. Maybe you should not concentrate on helping the economic production of gas cars as a main source of transport so much but more on cleaning up your planet. You haven't even mastered electromagnetism, or infinite energy and propulsion in these vehicles, you're going to look ridiculous if ww3 or some catastrophic event wipes you out like the dinosaurs. Technically, you are still polluting the ozone by using gas. I would concetrate on cleaning up your earth. Does greenpeace have any funding for these types of mass scale projects? If so why not mention it in their article? Maybe greenpeace should take advantage of the oil barge by obtaining their own instead of pirating or what not.

Contradiction in terms? "renewable" used to describe "fossil gas"

a renewable electricity cooperative that supplied customers with fossil gas starting from 2011
Unless I'm mistaken, the general definition of "renewable" excludes "fossil gas", and so this is a tacit contradiction in terms and the burden of proof would require a verifiable source to explain how "fossil gas" can be renewable, otherwise "a renewable electricity cooperative" should be changed to something like "an electricity cooperative claiming to provide renewable energy" so that the text isn't making the claim itself. --RProgrammer (talk) 20:03, 4 March 2022 (UTC)

Greenpeace is a global campaigning network founded in Canada in 1971. Its goal is to "ensure the ability of the Earth to nurture life in all its diversity", with campaigns focused on issues such as climate change, deforestation, overfishing, commercial whaling, genetic engineering and the anti-war and anti-nuclear movements. It uses direct action, advocacy, research and ecotage to achieve its goals. Greenpeace had its origins in protests staged in the late 1960s against Cannikin, an American underground nuclear weapon test in the tectonically unstable island of Amchitka in Alaska, amid concerns that the test would trigger earthquakes and a tsunami. This 1971 photograph shows the nuclear device that sparked the creation of Greenpeace being lowered into its firing hole for Cannikin.
