Greenpeace

Greenpeace is an organization, working towards saving this planet Earth, from ecological disaster.

The aim of Greenpeace is to " ensure the ability of Earth to nurture life in all its diversity."This means going out & staging protests,signing campaigns to save forests from deforestation ,to save water,to ensure that all living beings are able to survive in an environment in these times.Many corporations,companies etal are bent on destroying our living resources for petty profits.It is to credit of Greenpeace that the people of the world have realised that some will go all the way to maximise gains at the immense cost  & permanent destruction to our planet,Earth.

Greenpeace ,India the Indian wing of Greenpeace International has been in the forefront of many campaigns to save our forests,waters,rivers,etal.Some of them are demanding that  P & G keep its products like detergents,facewash,soaps,shampoos, free of anything that destroys forests.Greenpeace through its MAHAN  has been in the forefront asking ESSAR group to stop destroying forests for its needs .This destruction is displacing the indigenous people who have lived & survived in the forests.They have nowhere to go & no means of livelihood other than the forests.

WWF &  Greenpeace have been promoting the EARTH HOUR campaign successfully to showcase how public solidarity across nations can reduce our carbon footprints in sustaining our living planet.

Hence,Greenpeace stands for green efforts to sustain peace.

I observe earth hour...that is the least I could do towards Greenpeace. Hope we can raise more awareness...We do enjoy nature and its beauty but otherwise we are blind and selfish.

Agree with Janu. I do my bit by consuming less electricity, water, plastic.

Thank you so much Vasudha for sharing these details with us. I was aware of Greenpeace but didn't know much. This helped a lot. I also try and do my small bits like observing earth hours etc. Hope some day we are all aware enough to take these small steps more big heartedly!

When I was in India, I used to contribute my bit for Greenpeace.Recently I met a volunteer for Greenpeace, here in stockhol, he was distributing flyers on the station entry, he had a rain jacket with a hood rain, it was raining at 4 degrees temperature.. Admired him for his effort. Just if we all do our bit..
