“The environment Protectors”
As inhabitants of this Earth, one of our main priorities is to protect the environment that has been given to us. While many people may have forgotten about the importance of protecting and maintaining Earth, there exists a series of organizations whose main purpose is to protect all natural aspects of the planet we call home. One of the major and oldest organizations is Greenpeace. The main goal of Greenpeace, as explained by the organization, is “to expose environmental criminals, and to challenge government and corporations when they fail to live up to their mandate”. One of the Greenpeace environmental focuses is to protect the ocean, beaches, and waves. They set up clear objectives and are serious about attaining their goals. The nonprofit organization Greenpeace deserves our support because they perform an important role in campaigns by exposing and defending environmental issues such as deforestation and protecting our oceans all over the world.
Greenpeace is an organization that fights to save all aspects of nature. As explained on their website, it is a non-profit organization that works to discontinue environmental degradation. According to Greenpeace, the organization began in 1971 when a group of peaceful environmental activists sailed into Alaska by boat to protest with intent to stop a series of underground nuclear tests that were being done by the United States government. Some of the main Greenpeace campaigns include stopping climate change, protecting tropical rainforests, eliminating toxic chemicals, and stopping the nuclear threat (Greenpeace). They are considered to be a radical activist group by many because of the level of protesting that they undertake. These actions include the famous 1971 boat trip to Alaska. They lead many protests that go straight to the root of the problem, sometimes even putting their lives in danger.
