Greenpeace: Mission, Biodiversity, Forests, Fresh Air, Fresh Water and Oceans Ecosystems Protection
• Change the world
• Do it together
• How it started
• Greenpeace mission
• Nature
• Energy
• People
• What can you do to help?
• Imagine a world where forests flourish and oceans are full of life. Where energy is as clean as a mountain stream.
• Where everyone has security, dignity and joy. We can’t build this future alone, but we can build it together.
In 1971, 12 Canadian activists boarded the old carrack "Phyllis Cormack" to protest against American nuclear tests in Alaska. The media impact is such that the US government definitively ceases atmospheric nuclear tests as of 1972. Then 50 years of shock actions and lobbying begin
We want to change the way we humans relate to nature and to each other. We'll dismantle the broken systems and global power structures that have failed us.
Example:
Orangutan habitat destruction to create massive plantations
Greenpeace exists because this fragile earth deserves a voice. It needs solutions. It needs change. It needs action
Our goal is to ensure the ability of the earth to nurture life in all its diversity.
That means:
• protect biodiversity in all its forms
• prevent pollution and abuse of the earth’s ocean, land, air and fresh water
• end all nuclear threats
• promote peace, global disarmament and non-violence
• Focusing on great global forests and oceans we aim to preserve, protect and restore the most valuable ecosystems for the climate and for biodiversity
• We challenge the power of fossil fuel corporations, bolster support for renewable and citizen-powered energy and seek to hold big polluters to account.
• We want to tear apart the way corporations and governments collude to make a profit at the expense of both people and planet
