She led Greenpeace UK's campaign against fracking〔 and is Deputy Campaigns Director with Greenpeace USA.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Leila Deen )〕 She was previously an activist with the World Development Movement and Plane Stupid. She is most widely known for pouring green custard on the then Business Secretary Lord Mandelson in March 2009 in protest against the extension of Heathrow Airport, for which she was arrested and cautioned. ==Activism== Deen has been an activist since she was a teenager.〔 Deen was a prominent member of anti-aviation group Plane Stupid and a campaigner for the World Development Movement, focussing on water,〔Vicky Cann and Tim Jones, Edited by Leila Deen (Down the drain: How aid for water sector reform could be better spent ) World Development Movement, November 2006〕 finance, and climate change.〔〔(Kent facing huge threat from climate change: new map ) WDM, 24 June 2008〕 Deen made headlines in 2005 as part of a protest at the G8 meeting in Edinburgh when she scaled a crane along with two other protesters.〔(G8 protesters climb 150ft crane ) ''BBC News'', 5 July 2005〕 She was quoted as saying "The crumbs of debt relief and aid increases... remain tied to debilitating conditions, which stands in direct contradiction to Make Poverty History". In contrast to her later direct action, at the 2008 Kingsnorth Climate Camp Deen was reported to be "keen to stress that WDM does not support illegal protest methods".〔Walker, Rosie: (Protest and polite policemen, but no posters, please: a day inside the Climate Camp ) ''Third Sector'', 11 August 2008〕 She has called Heathrow's Terminal 5 "a glorified shopping mall"〔Jacobs, Catherine: (New Terminal Branded An 'Ugly Icon' ). ''Sky News'', 14 March 2008〕 and she called pro-flight counter-protesters "very misguided".〔Davis, Anna: (Demonstrators bear down on Westminster in fight against Heathrow expansion ) ''Evening Standard'', 20 February 2009〕 In 2007 she joined Brian Haw's peace camp in Parliament Square against SOCPA and the Iraq War.〔Allen, Nick: (U.K.'s Brown Faces Anti-War Protests as Exclusion Zone Lifted ) Bloomberg, 28 June 2007〕 As a member of Plane Stupid, she dressed as a suffragette, glued herself to the doors of the Department for Transport, and blew an airhorn to interrupt a speech by Geoff Hoon.〔 She was a finalist in the Sheila McKechnie Awards in 2006 for campaigning for Economic Justice. With Greenpeace UK from 2010 to 2013 she was an energy campaigner, leading their opposition to fracking, running their "How clean is your cloud" campaign against the use of coal energy by internet companies, and campaigning against Arctic and deep-water oil drilling by Shell, Gazprom and other energy companies, including on board Greenpeace's MV ''Esperanza'' ship.〔 In October 2013, she became Deputy Campaigns Director with Greenpeace USA.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Leila Deen )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Leila Deen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
