Greenpeace UK
Greenpeace exists because this fragile earth deserves a voice. It needs solutions. It needs change. It needs action.
Greenpeace are an independent non-profit global campaigning organisation that uses non-violent, creative confrontation to expose global environmental problems and their causes. We research solutions and alternatives to help provide a path for a green and peaceful future.
Greenpeace’s independence is crucial to their work which is why they will never accept money from companies or political organisations. It is also why they need the support of individuals to continue their work protecting and preserving the worlds environment.
