“My work is in poverty alleviation, and it is deeply entwined with Greenpeace’s work. Without a clean environment, humanity cannot survive successfully. Greenpeace’s positive work on climate change, clean food and water, clean air, and sustainable agriculture is all key to the development of a sustainable environment. Greenpeace protects and improves not just the well-being of the Earth but also the lives of human beings.”

“As a surprisingly successful example of the brilliance of humanity, Greenpeace is an illustration of how to combine the passion and rationality of human beings. After forty years of existence, Greenpeace has not only created a model of sustainable co-existence between people and nature, but also changed the game for various interest groups and powerful players in a complex society. They have created a beautiful system using deep wisdom.”

“I see that GPEA makes possible solidarity in Asia and campaign programming that includes global links and local action solutions, something most NGO projects need. Greenpeace responses to climate change, sustainable fishery and other environmental issues go beyond political boundaries using its long experience as an international organization, and also monitoring and keeping track of unsustainable agriculture and industrial pollution around the world. As long as we continue to take small steps of progress and change, we still have the opportunity to leap forward with hope into the world of tomorrow.”
