Theres a lot going on in the world these days. Were facing environmental crises the likes of which mankind has never faced before: global warming, shocking rates of deforestation, dead zones and overfishing in our oceans, massive amounts of toxic e-waste being dumped in poor countries.

The only rational reaction to these crises, as far as Im concerned, is to take action. Now is not the time to get depressed or feel hopeless. Now is the time to do whatever we can to build a clean, healthy, and sustainable future for all life on Planet Earth.

Greenpeace is on the frontlines of the fight to build a sustainable future, and we need you to join us. The environmental crises were facing are immense, but together we can solve them. It will take all of us working together, though.

Thats why wed like to invite all of you to join us on June 17th for a Greenpeace volunteer meeting. Our field organizers are hosting these meetings in 20 cities across the country. Go here and search the drop-down menu for a city near you, then fill out the form to let us know youll be attending. The local field organizer in your community will be in touch to let you know the details of the meeting. (You can also visit www.greenpeace.org/volunteer and look for an organizer near you on our handy Google map.)

If you dont see a city in the drop-down menu that is within roughly 30 miles of where you live, though, dont worry! You can still get involved! Either click the link on that same page, or simply go here, then give us your info, and well be in touch to let you know how you can help build a green and peaceful future.

We Need Your Voice. Join Us!
