Greenpeace Aims To Break Facebook Comment Record

Greenpeace is about to break the world record for the most comments on a single Facebook post.

As nearly 50,000 responses to a single Facebook post have gone up within about 8 hours, Greenpeace appears well on its way to breaking a world record.

The campaign attempts a friendlier tactic (bad pun intended) to further the organization’s ongoing effort to pressure the social network to stop using coal to power data centers.

Greenpeace originally aimed for 50,000 comments on a single post, and is now aiming for 100,000 or more. The organization is also asking users to leave comments for Facebook staff, urging them to run their massive data centers on renewable energy, instead of “dirty coal and dangerous nuclear” energy.

According to the post (which is also translated into Italian, Spanish and Turkish, among other languages), Greenpeace will be displaying everyone’s comments today directly outside Facebook’s headquarters in California.
