Greenpeace by John Trinkl The name Greenpeace http://www.greenpeace.org conjures up images of a small band of embattled activists in a rubber raft taking on a large whaling ship in an effort to stop the slaughter of whales. But Greenpeace, one of the largest activist environmental groups in the world, is far more than this. It's goals are to: 1) Protect biodiversity in all its forms. 2) Prevent pollution and abuse of the earth's ocean, land air and fresh water. 3) End all nuclear threats. 4) Promote peace, global disarmament and non-violence. It's in-your-face style of organizing was demonstrated recently on Dec. 22 when Greenpeace activists in Bremenhaven, Germany blockaded a planned loading of 59 kilograms of plutonium bound for a processing plant in Scotland. http://www.greenpeace.org/~comms/97/nuclear/press/transdecember22.html Greenpeace has active campaigns against toxic chemicals, against nuclear weapons and for alternatives to nuclear power, against ocean dumping, against global warming, and campaigns to preserve forest and for safeguards for genetic engineering. A multimedia history http://www.greenpeace.org/vrmlrw is available on Greenpeace International's website http://www.greenpeace.org.
