Green Peace Essay
How Greenpeace has made a difference in the world.
First of all, what is Greenpeace? It’s an organization of hundreds of thousands of people who all came together for one cause, making the world a better place. They face new issues every day and push people to new limits to make sure we find justice for what we stand up for and believe in. “ Greenpeace began by hiring one battered boat and now owns a sophisticated fleet of ocean-going vessels and river crafts. It began by opposing one nuclear test, and has now expanded its campaign coverage to include a range of issues such as toxic waste, acid rain, kangaroo slaughter, nuclear weapons at sea, whaling, ocean pollution, overfishing and many others as the threats to the natural environment have proliferated. ” (Brown, 2)
Greenpeace has changed the world for the better because they have never stopped fighting for what is right, they always put up a fight and not always have they won but they never gave up. They have saved many animals and people from danger or even death. And last but not least they have done what a lot of people thought about doing but never did; they did what is best for society and the world.
One of the ways they have made the world a better place (and still are in the making) they have fought for protecting whale’s rights. All over places in the world, mostly in Japan, whales are being slaughtered by the dozen for their oil. The only meat product they will take is the muscle to later burn it into more oil. Greenpeace is working towards stopping the mass killing of whales so the population of whales can hopefully repopulate before it is too late. “The largest of whales, which give the greatest yield of oil, were the first to suffer, and it was only when they became so scarce as to make hunting them uneconomical that the whalers turned their attention to smaller species. By 1972, the blue whale population has been reduced from 200 000 to 6000, and humpbacks had shown very similar numbers.
