#Introduction

Greenpeace is an independent, global environmental campaigning organisation. Our mission is to ensure Earth’s ability to nurture life in all its diversity. Through creative confrontation and non-violent direct action, we take on the big issues and seek to bring about systemic change.

We act on the knowledge that people are part of nature, on the certainty that a better world is possible, and on the evidence that when we work together, we can make a difference.
