Earth Day 2011 is on the way, and in the spirit of it environmental group Greenpeace have released a video telling us that a) coal is the number one contributor to climate change in the world, and b) Facebook needs a lot of coal to keep all 600 million of us tagging and poking.

This video is part of Greenpeace’s Unfriend Coal campaign, that include efforts to convince Facebook to adopt a policy of clean energy to power its data centers.

They are hoping to pressure the social network to switch from coal and nuclear power for its data centers and embrace renewable energy technologies like so many of its IT industry peers.
