In general

Our materials hosted at http://www.greenpeace.org are free to use for personal or educational purposes. If you want screen shots to use in a text book, or you want to reproduce an article in your community newsletter, there’s no need to ask, provided you read and abide by our ground rules.

We expressly forbid the use of any Greenpeace material appearing at this site, and/or the Greenpeace name and logo, for:

• personal or corporate gain except by express permission as noted below;
• party political advertising or the suggestion of endorsement by Greenpeace of any candidate for public office;
• any suggestion of Greenpeace endorsement of a product or policy where such endorsement has not explicitly been made by Greenpeace itself;

• any false representation of yourself as a Greenpeace office, employee, agent or official spokesperson, or any false representation that you are raising funds or donations for Greenpeace.
