During fleet week, Oct 1995, in San Francisco
Bay, we created an event to draw attention to the nuclear testing
of France in the South Pacific. A plastic, inflatable loaf of french
bread (75' long, 15' wide, 20' high), modeled after the famous "PARISIAN"
brand of french bread, was created. In place of the brand name was
the phrase "MAKE BREAD NOT BOMBS." This loaf of bread was then towed
around the bay by Greenpeace so that it could be viewed by the thousands
of people lining Crissy Field and Aquatic Park who had come to view
the Naval ships coming into the Bay as well as the politicians and
Admirals aboard the reviewing ship, the USS Dartmouth. The intention
was to point out ecological damage to the bay by the US Navy and
the damage to our planet by the nuclear testing in the South Pacific.
