The Greenpeace Giving online gift shop is at
http://www.greenpeacegiving.org.auGreenpeace mass mobilisation manager Nick Moraitis said, "Our online gift shop contains all kinds of virtual gifts that symbolise Greenpeace's work in winning environmental campaigns.
"You can buy a friend a virtual gift that will help stop climate change, halt logging in an ancient forest or even save a whale.
"By giving a special gift from our range, you are giving someone the power to make a difference. Think of it as environmental activism without the giftwrap."
Some of the online gift donations include:
* Protection for one Paradise Forest tree under threat from deforestation in South-East Asia and the Pacific;
* One share in a portable sawmill, to empower communities in the Solomon Islands and Papua New Guinea to manage their own forests and reject industrial loggers;
* Protect the vulnerable Pacific yellowfin tuna species;
* Sponsor a Greenpeace ship captain for a day, to help Greenpeace disrupt Japan's whale hunt in the Southern Ocean;
* Help fund peaceful direct action training for a Greenpeace activist;
* Provide valuable legal advice for an activist in India.
With every donation the recipient receives a greeting card, together with a message about how their present will contribute to saving the environment. Prices start at $10 and are tax deductible.
