What is Greenpeace?What is Greenpeace?Greenpeace is a global

organization of campaigns that acts to change attitudes and behaviores, to protect and conserve nature and promote peace.

Greenpeace is an NGO (non governmental organization) environment based in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, and with offices spread across 40 countries. Had Foundation in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada (1971).

• Catalyze an energy

revolution, to deal with the number one threat that our planet faces.

• Defending Oceans, challenging the dissipative and destructive fishing and creating an international network of marine reserves.

• Protect the ancient forests of the world and the animals, plants and people that depend on them.

Greenpeace is organized into campaigns, with the following objectives:

• Working for disarmament and peace, taking care of the causes of the conflicts and demanding the elimination of all nuclear weapons.

• Create a future free of toxic materials with safer alternatives to hazardous chemicals used in products and current industry.

• Promote sustainable agriculture by rejecting genetically modified organisms, protecting biodiversity and encouraging socially responsible agriculture.

Greenpeace is present in 41 countries in Europe, America, Asia and the Pacific.

To maintain its independence, Greenpeace does not accept donations from governments or corporations, depending on the contributions of individual sponsors and foundations.

Greenpeace has conducted campaigns against environmental degradation since 1971, when a small boat of volunteers and journalists sailed into Amchitka, northern region of Alaska, where the US government was conducting underground nuclear tests. This tradition of "bear witness" non-violent manner continues today; our ships are an important part of all our campaign work.

We believe that the struggle to preserve the future of our planet is not about just us. It also up to you. Greenpeace speaks for 2.8 million supporters worldwide, and encourages every day millions more to act.

We searched the name of our ship-flag, "Rainbow Warrior" (Rainbow Warrior), a Cree legend of North American Indians. It describes a time when the greed of mankind would have become ill Earth. At that time, appear to defend a tribe of people called Rainbow Warriors.

As one of the slogans done for us summed things, "When the last tree is cut, the last river been poisoned and the last fish dead, we will discover that we can not eat money.

Greenpeace Name OriginGreenpeace Name Origin The organization's name came

from the accident. On the occasion of the organization's debut, to prevent a US nuclear test in the Aleutian Islands, the activists had the idea to make and sell a button to help raise funds for the trip. It should contain the words green (green) and peace (peace), which appeared in two separate flags, hoisted on board the vessel of the organization, previously known as "Committee not Make a Wave" (Do not Make a Wave Committee). The words were designed to express the idea of pacifism and environmental protection.

Greenpeace in PortugalGreenpeace in Portugal Traditionally, Portugal have been dynamic activists in

Greenpeace campaigns and have made remarkable contributions financially, as volunteers or through the dissemination of the organization's applications.

International Greenpeace CampaignsInternational Greenpeace CampaignsGreenpeace exists because this fragile planet deserve to have a voice, needs solutions and change. Needs action.

Stop climate change We want you to

participate in an energy revolution, to move from a world nuclear-powered and other fossil fuels to renewable energy that works.

Protect ancient forests Throughout the world, ancient

forests are in crisis. Many of the plants and animals that live in these forests face extinction, and many of the people and cultures that depend on these forests for their way of life are also threatened. But not all bad news. There is a last chance to protect these forests and the life they support.

Defend our oceans Sustainable Agriculture The marine life was too long fully

exposed to exploitation by those who possess the means to do so. Rapid technological advances meant that, at present, the capacity, reach and power of vessels and equipment used to exploit marine life far exceeds nature's ability to preserve. If this is not controlled, will have far-reaching consequences on the marine environment and the people who depend on it.

Greenpeace is campaigning for an agriculture that benefits the planet and people. We want healthy foods that grow in the environment and not the environment. We want agriculture to help farmers cope with climate change.

Eliminate toxic chemical substances

End the nuclear age

The toxic chemicals in our environment threaten our rivers and lakes, our air, land and oceans, and ultimately ourselves and our future.

Greenpeace has always fought vigorously - and will continue to fight - against nuclear energy, for it poses an unacceptable risk to the environment and to humanity. The only solution is to stop the expansion of all nuclear power and to close existing plants.

Nestlé, maker of Kit Kat, uses palm oil from companies that are trashing Indonesian rainforests, threatening the livelihoods of local people and pushing orangutans towards extinction.

We all deserve to have a break - but having one shouldn't involve taking a bite out of Indonesia's precious rainforests. We're asking Nestlé to give rainforests and orangutans a break and stop buying palm oil from destroyed forests.

If Shell could, it would drill for oil on every corner of the globe. So more than 5 million people have joined together to stop Shell from endangering one of the last pristine places on Earth: the fragile Arctic. Those who have acted know what this place represents, and understand that to save the planet and save the Arctic is to save us all.
