Greenpeace

Greenpeace is an independent organization that promotes peace "by investigating, exposing and confronting environmental abuse, championing environmentally responsible solutions and advocating for the rights and well-being of all people."

Greenpeace has multiple campaigns that they're working on:

One of Greenpeace's campaigns is focused on saving the Arctic. The Arctic "spans eight countries, is home to more than 13 million people and provides a habitat for some of the most incredible wildlife on Earth." The Arctic Ocean has had to face the dangers of oil drilling and climate change. Greenpeace wants to make sure that the Arctic Ocean is off limits.

Another priority to Greenpeace are the forests. "Forests are crucial for the health and well-being of people, wildlife and our planet. They're home to roughly two-thirds of all land-dwelling plant and animal species, critical lifelines for communities big and small and one of the last lines of defense against catastrophic climate change." Many of the Earth's natural forests have been destroyed and half of global forest land has already been lost. Greenpeace's goal is to protect forests and look towards a future of thriving forests that can "sustain local communities and economies, are filled with unique wildlife and keep our air clean and pollution-free."

To learn about the other campaigns that Greenpeace has created, check out their website. I'll link it at the bottom of this blog post.
