welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’ll
be learning more about Greenpeace
founded in Vancouver British Columbia in
1971 Greenpeace is an international
environmental group as part of its
mission
Greenpeace claims itself as the voice
for voiceless mother earth Greenpeace
was originally founded as a means to
stop underground nuclear testing in an
area of Alaska that was home to a number
of endangered animal species though the
grassroots organization failed to stop
the United States from detonating that
original bomb its existence initiated a
flood of public interest the group
officially became Greenpeace in 1972
after the US government had stopped
testing in that Alaskan region by the
mid-1970s the organization had branched
out from exclusively protesting nuclear
weapons to fighting other environmental
causes as well
these included whaling and toxic waste
by 1977 factions of the organization
began operating across the world
Greenpeace has since evolved from its
grassroots beginnings to become an
organized group with offices in over 40
countries today the organization is
based in Amsterdam the Netherlands and
claims 2.8 million supporters around the
world part of the Greenpeace mandate
from the beginning has been to eliminate
all nuclear weapons and put an end to
our reliance on non-renewable resources
its main goal is to stop climate change
and the group is credited with raising
public awareness of that issue markedly
throughout the 1990s in addition to
protesting and raising awareness
Greenpeace has also used its own
laboratories to research and locate
alternative solutions to ongoing
problems this effort has included the
invention of green freeze a technology
for fridge manufacturing that eliminates
the use of ozone depleting CFCs today
over one third of refrigerators produced
are based on this technology funding for
the group comes in the form of donations
from foundations and individual
supporters a strict screening process
ensures it does not receive funds from
governments political parties or
corporations Greenpeace traditionally
uses nonviolent means to bring attention
to environmental problems the group
utilizes peaceful protests petitions and
more unconventional and sometimes
disruptive means to its advantage
for example the passive resistance
technique of bearing witness uses the
protesters presence as a sign of
disapproval and is very popular with
Greenpeace the group is also famous for
aggressive and striking advertising
campaigns to get its point across you
can even use the scam Wow to
rehabilitate wildlife terrific there
won’t be any public rage left for those
boycotts in certain instances throughout
its history some members have taken
their creative protests to the next
level and have wound up facing
prosecution for what can be considered
an orthodox and extreme actions despite
this controversy there is no doubt the
Greenpeace has become one of the most
effective and successful environmental
protection groups in the world we must
begin to have respect for other life for
time around dolphin and comrade whale
because without them the oceans begin to
die and if the oceans begin to die we
all begin to die
