Greenpeace is a non-profit organisation,
with a presence in 40 countries across Europe, the Americas, Asia and the
Pacific. To maintain its independence, Greenpeace does not accept donations from
governments or corporations but relies on contributions from individual
supporters and foundation grants.
Greenpeace exists because the earth and all life on it
deserves a clean and safe environment - now and in the future.
As a global organisation, Greenpeace focuses on the most
critical worldwide environmental issues such as:-
· Oceans and ancient forests protection;
· Fossil fuel phase out and the promotion of renewable energies to stop
climate change;
· Nuclear disarmament and an end to nuclear contamination;
· Elimination of toxic chemicals; and
· Preventing the release of genetically engineered organisms into nature.
Since its earliest days, Greenpeace has been linked to the
seas and its ships are incredibly valuable, not only in actions to save the
whales and protect the marine environment, but for all campaign work.
Actions often speak louder than words and non-violent
direct action is at the heart of Greenpeace campaigns, which have also grown
to include lobbying and research over the past years. |
