Greenpeace is a diverse, multi-cultural movement of ordinary individuals determined to bring about the extraordinary change necessary to realize a greener, more peaceful future. Greenpeace organizers, researchers, volunteers and members work in solidarity to protect the environment and promote ambitious solutions to the critical issues we face as a global community. The Greenpeace journey started more than 40 years ago in the early hours of a September morning. The plan for that first Greenpeace crew was to sail a rickety fishing boat to the Arctic Ocean to stop a US government nuclear test. It was to be, in the words of Greenpeace co-founder Irving Stowe, “A trip for life, and for peace.” Today, Greenpeace is more than three and one-half million strong, with supporters, partners and allies in more than 55 countries.
