Greenpeace is an international non-governmental organisation for the protection and conservation of the environment.
Initially, the main reason for the existence of this organisation was the anti-nuclear protest, but now their focus are other environmental issues like whaling, bottom trawling, global warming, old growth and nuclear power.
This organisation was created in 1971 in Canada by american emigrants, and it is financied with money from physical people, not accepting resources from governments or enterprises. Today, it has about 3 millions of financial supporters all over the world who donate money every month.
Its main goal is to mobilize people to do something about the planet's main issues mentioned above. They do that through acts, advertisement and other.
Greenpeace achieved some important victories, such as:
» the end of nuclear tests at Amchitka Island, Alaska
» European Commission baning the import of seal pup skins in response to public criticism triggered by Greenpeace actions in Canada
» 30 million people worldwide create the largest anti-war protest in the history of humankind.
Below, you can see some advertisements made by Greenpeace, using always a great concept.
