CALL DOW WEDNESDAY

You probably know about the troubles of Thing.net
(http://rtmark.com/pressthing.html).

Tomorrow's a good day to vent your anger at Dow, who decided to send their
complaint about a parody website NOT to the site, and NOT to the host of
the site (Thing.net), but to the upstream provider of the host of the site
(Verio), who promptly brought down the whole ISP and is now cancelling
their contract.

Besides that, Dow is just plain nasty business. Visit
http://www.greenpeace.org/ on Wednesday, Jan. 22 to find out how to let
off some steam.

CALL DOW DAY - WEDNESDAY 22 JANUARY

Dow Chemical seems to think it can safely ignore the suffering of
thousands of people in Bhopal who live with the contamination
caused by the factory its Union Carbide subsidiary abandoned
following the worst industrial accident in history. Despite receiving
over 15,000 emails and many thousands of postcards and letters
urging it to clean up Bhopal the company still insists the
abandoned factory is not its problem. That is why we need your
help to call Dow on Wednesday and tell them to clean up Bhopal
now!

Dow has an free phone ethics line open 24 hours a day to deal with
any ethical concerns you may have about the company.

The free phone number and further details will appear on the
Greenpeace front page here:

http://www.greenpeace.org/

on Wednesday morning Central European time.

We would love to hear back from as many people as possible
about your call to Dow and if you have sound recording equipment
an mp3 sound file of your call. You can send your details by
replying to the cybercentre article which will appear here on
Wednesday morning:

survivors rather than helping them:
