Greenpeace's New Rainbow Warrior. Hmm...

Greenpeace are retiring the infamous Rainbow Warrior and now you can help them build its replacement vessel, just by going to this site. You can view the build live through a webcam in the shipyard and explore 3D renderings from a number of angles, as well as dive into individual decks of the new Warrior. The most interesting part is how the charity are funding the build - rather than just asking for straight donations, visitors are encouraged to explore the ship and then click to buy specific equipment that is still needed: wetsuits, scuba gear, even life rafts. After making a contribution, you can go and find your piece of the project online. Pretty cool, no? You'll even receive a Certificate and your name on a dedication wall in the finished vessel.
