Re: Need help naming Enviornmentalist team.
In our campaign we have GreenWar, a violent splinter faction of Greenpeace. They use terroristic methods, including kidnapping and assassinations of "polluters" and destroying manufacturing facilities. While they are not supervillains in our game, they've hired supers as agents in the past and could easily be rewritten to be a villain group. In our campaign they're the most vicious terrorist group in Europe, having killed dozens of people. Here's a press release from our campaign's newsletter, the Weekly Globe Enquirer:

GreenWar Sabotage Claims 16 Lives in Barcelona
Thousands Evacuated from Nearby Residences
Madrid, Spain - The eco-terrorist group known as GreenWar has claimed responsibility for a chemical plant explosion and subsequent fire in Barcelona, Spain yesterday. In addition to 16 confirmed deaths and over 200 injuries, mostly burns and chemical inhalation, there are still 7 people unaccounted for. This is the third such explosion at a European chemical plant in the past seven weeks, and counter terrorism experts are concerned at this latest trend by the radical environmental group. In the ten years since GreenWar announced itself as a radical splinter group of Greenpeace, attacks by the group have caused over 2000 casualties and over $17.2 billion in property damage.
"Traditionally, GreenWar has gone after petroleum refineries, heavy industrial works, and nuclear power facilities. These types of facilities traditionally have fairly good security. But these new types of targets are much 'softer'. Yesterday's attack on a pharmaceutical facility is a departure from their previous pattern, and could indicate a complete shift in their tactics," said noted counter-terrorism expert Gerhardt Baum of Germany's elite GSG-9. "And the fact that we have been unable to ascertain the method used to create these explosions is a troubling development in and of itself. Some of my colleagues feel this may prove that GreenWar has managed to acquire paranormal help. If you'll recall, GreenWar worked with the supervillain group Force 10 back in 2000 in a foiled attempt to destroy a Norwegian nuclear power plant. Even though Force 10 later denounced this attack and claimed they were duped by GreenWar, this incident shows GreenWar has a prior history of working with paranormal criminals. While their willingness to utilize paranormals to accomplish their political goals is disturbing enough, the worst case would of course be if paranormals were to actively join GreenWar. That prospect is absolutely terrifying.”
