This week Greenpeace was listed fourth on Channel Nine's program 20 To 01, which counted down ‘rebels and risk-takers’ who make the world exciting.
20 To 01 featured well known celebrities praising Greenpeace’s achievements including Singer John Paul Young who said, “Thank God for Greenpeace” and personality Libby Gore who said, “Sometimes you’ve got to go outside the square to get heard.” Another celebrity was quoted on the show saying “Greenpeace is a movement that is absolutely essential to our ongoing survival.”
Greenpeace began in 1971, when a small group of ‘rebels and risk-takers’ motivated by a green and peaceful world set sail to ‘bear witness’ to America’s underground nuclear testing on an island off the coast of Alaska called Amchitka. These were the founding members of Greenpeace who held the firm belief that a few individuals could make a difference.
Today, Greenpeace is a global organisation that prioritises campaigns which can be addressed on a global scale. We campaign for a just, peaceful and sustainable environment for future generations and work to ensure corporations take a best practice approach to adopt truly sustainable measures and that governments live up to their promises and responsibilities.
