Planet earth needs you
Protect it today
To some, the destruction of our natural resources is the price that needs to be paid in order to achieve development. But there are millions more who define ‘development’ differently. One that is inclusive and sustainable. We see beauty, home, heritage, and a future. As we continue to campaign for our planet, one thing is certain - people power wins!
Green Your Energy
Switch on the sun
The environmental challenges we face are urgent and massive. But movements that bring hope and change are growing. And one of them is a movement away from fossil fuels, towards the adoption of renewables. If everyday people like us band together on small initiatives and lifestyle changes, we can push for some big, visionary measures that address climate change.
You only live once
Stand up for your right
Our bodies are continuously being poisoned as a result of the developmental pathways that are forced on us. And it gets even worse when our government policies hint towards nexus with big corporations. But we have the power in our hands to choose healthy alternatives to old and dirty coal-fueled energy systems, GMOs, chemical farming inputs and everything else polluting.
We are many
And we are rising
More than 15,000 passionate people around the world dedicate their time, energy and skills to Greenpeace's core values and stories. From giving presentations to scaling coal plants, there is a lot to be done to move towards a greener and equitable future. There are many ways in which you can get involved as a volunteer.
You have the power
Change the world
A stable climate is possible, and so are equitable societies that are just and peaceful. But the world doesn’t get better on its own. It gets better because people work together to make it that way. And the good news is that when we stand together and act, we can make the change we need to see in the world.
Imagine a world where forests flourish and oceans are full of life. Where energy is as clean as a mountain stream. Where everyone has security, dignity and joy. Where power is used to fight poverty and injustice, not people. We can’t build this future alone, but we can build it together.
