Greenpeace International envisions a green, peaceful world. Greenpeace is a global activist organization devoted to environmental and related issues. It carries out major international campaigns to stop global warming and commercial whaling, conserve the world's forests, reduce environmental toxins, promote economic equity in international trade, and abolish nuclear weapons. The group was founded in 1971 by 12 men who sailed into an atomic test zone off the coast of Alaska in protest of the nuclear activities there. Greenpeace has grown into an organization with about 2.8 million supporters in more than 150 countries around the world. It has offices in 40 countries across Africa, the Americas, Asia, and Europe. To read the full description, subscribe now.
