San Francisco:Greenpeace activists have rallied outside Facebook headquarters, calling on the social network to "unfriend" coal energy for powering data centers and other operations.

The international environmental group set up a large computer screen to display comments streaming in from around the world in response to a Facebook post urging the firm to join an energy revolution.

"We want them to 'unfriend' coal and 'Like' green energy," Greenpeace spokesman Daniel Kessler said after the rally at Facebook's offices in the Silicon Valley city of Palo Alto. "We think a lot of Facebook employees will be on our side, so we are trying to recruit them."

Facebook last week unveiled greener, cheaper data centers to more efficiently power online services.
