Who is Greenpeace? 

Greenpeace is a global, independent campaigning organisation that uses non-violent protest and inventive communication to reveal global environmental problems. Additionally, they promote solutions that would result in; a green and peaceful future. Greenpeace can be found universally, as it is home to 26 independent national/regional organisations across 55 countries beyond Europe, the Americas, Africa, Asia and the Pacific.  

What have they done to make positive change?

Greenpeace is involved in a variety of issues ranging from protecting our oceans, ancient forests, slowly eliminate fossil fuels and promoting renewable energy to stop climate change, and many more.  These issues and factors that they are trying to fix; benefits our environment. However, investigations are also a crucial role in Greenpeace’s campaigns. They use their investigations to unmask those accountable for environmental destruction. Their investigations provide data about environmental crimes and their perpetrators to notify people, thus enabling their campaigns.

What are they doing now to help our oceans? 

As mentioned, Greenpeace is also involved in protecting our oceans as they play a critical purpose in our survival. They have thought of a plan of covering the planet in ocean sanctuaries. By covering the planet in ocean sanctuaries, habitats would recover, allowing fish to come back and prevent our ocean from dying.
