It was founded by Canadian and US ex-pat environmental activists in 1971. Greenpeace is goal to ensure the ability of the earth to nurture life in all its diversity. we focus our campaigning on world wide issues such as climate change, deforestation, over fishing, commercial whaling, genetic engineering, and anti-nuclear issues.

We do crazy things just to get attention tot issues that you may not think are that important. today Friday January 25, 2017 we took over a crane and hung our flag up loud and proud to protest the Key Stone Pipelines. although many think our methods are unorthodox. We want these issues to be talked about world wide. Green peace has made world wide knowledge public. And has influenced both private and public sectors. Organizations have even took actions and sparked legal actions against green peace just because our campaign against genetically modified organisms. Greenpeace is just a very earth loving industry. Were jsut a bunch of tree huggers.**===
