Feature story - April 22, 2010
Our planet is facing bigger challenges than ever before. Our ancient forests are being chopped down and our oceans recklessly fished out. Catastrophic climate change looms while governments and industry avoid the changes necessary to curb carbon emissions. We must all realize the planet needs our attention not just on Earth Day, but every day.
"Over the years, we've had a positive impact around the world by bearing witness and convincing politicians and industry to change many harmful practices. We have managed to protect enormous swaths of land, push through major environmental laws and sometimes even inspire business, government and science to put the good of the planet before financial gain.
But if you think the power of Greenpeace is in our ships, our peaceful direct actions or our solutions-based campaigning - think again: it's you."
-- Kumi Naidoo,
Executive Director,
Greenpeace International
