We work together to usher in a greener, fairer and more peaceful future for all. One where people and planet do not suffer at the expense of corporate profit or the elite few. One where the ways we feed and fuel our world work with nature, and not against it.
Join the movement.

A student from Vanessa School plays with flowers during the ecological agriculture workshop organized by Greenpeace Southeast Asia and the school. Greenpeace is working with the local school to create an ecological kitchen garden, where students will learn how to grown their own food and benefit from ecological agriculture. The activity, part of We Grow project, aims to promote a sustainable food system and self-sufficiency. Ecological agriculture enables communities to produce enough food to feed themselves. This form of agriculture fosters a future of healthy farming and food to all people, as opposed to industrial agriculture that uses expensive farm chemicals and rely on companies that supply both the seeds and the chemical technology.

Opened in 2014, it uses 173,500 mirrors spread across five square miles to concentrate the sun's rays on three steam boilers which power electric turbines. Ivanpah produces 377 megawatts, or enough power for 140,000 homes.
