Greenpeace, InternationalNon governmental organizations。Formerly founded on September 15, 1971Canada"Non show of hands committee", changed to Greenpeace in 1979, headquartered in the NetherlandsAmsterdam。[1]
Declared mission: protect the earth, the environment and the safety and sustainable development of all kinds of creatures, and make positive changes through action.Advocate solutions conducive to environmental protection, whether in scientific research or scientific and technological inventions.The purpose is to promote a more green, peaceful and sustainable future.[2]
On November 9, 2023, it was reported that Shell was suing the environmental protection organization Greenpeace for compensation of at least 21US $0 million.[11]
In 1971, 12 people with a common dreamCanadaVancouverSet sail and sail to Amchitka to stop the US nuclear test there.They hung a banner on the fishing boat, which read "Greenpeace".Although they were blocked by the US military halfway, their actions were supported by public opinion and the public.
In 1972, the United States gave up its nuclear test on the island of Anchika.Over the next 30 years, Greenpeace has gradually developed into one of the most influential environmental protection organizations in the world. They have inherited the brave and independent spirit of the founders and firmly believe in protecting with actionEarth environment。At the same time, through research, education and lobbying, the government, enterprises and the public are encouraged to jointly seek solutions to environmental problems.
protectSpecies diversityTo avoid pollution and over utilization of sea, land, air and fresh water.Respond to the nuclear threat, promote world peace, global disarmament and the non use of violence.
IReduce marine pollution
at seaDumpingNot only is it seriously toxicmarine animalAnd plants, and pollute the decreasing seafood in the world.At the beginning of the 1990s, about 80% to 90% of the dumped waste came from the pollutants in the excavated ports. Other sources of pollution included industrial waste,sewerDirt, radioactive substances andIncineratorParticles.Ten percent of the sludge is polluted by heavy metals, which flow into the sea from land, and some of them also come fromtanker, industrial and household waste, and even if non polluting substances are dumped into the seaMarine ecologyCause potential threats.Marine pollution is definitely not the way to deal with sludge and other wastes. Once the marine ecology is damaged, it will be difficult to restore its original appearance.In addition, the organization is also actively protectingwhaleTo avoid hunting.
IIReduce the harm of genetic engineering
Greenpeace said anxiously: "If we do not act now to stop genetic modification, in a few years, most of our food will be genetically modified 'scientific monsters'".In 2007, in the United StatessupermarketThere are already thousands of genetically engineered(GE)The product of is on the shelf.However, these ingredients in the experiment are likely to cause irreparableBiological pollutionMoreover, it may endanger our health.developmentGenetic modificationTechnicalMultinational enterprisesWe hope to convince the public that these foods are strictly tested, not only safe, but also nutritious.
However, independent scientists have warned that human understanding of genes is extremely limited, so they believe that this technology is full of flaws and dangers.The impact of genetically modified organisms on the environment and human health is not yet known.Therefore, Greenpeace believes that planting any genetically modified organism in the natural environment will lead to irreducible changes, which is extremely irresponsible.
IIIReduce the pollution of toxic substances
The economy of modern society is often driven by consumptionconsumerismIn the boom years,OverconsumptionIt is inevitable to bring huge waste to the society, which cannot be ignored.
Waste incineration is to producedioxinAnd heavy metals.Dioxin has been confirmed asCarcinogen, which seriously affects the human bodyimmune system,reproductive systemAnd interferehormoneSecretion.It can enter through air diffusionfood chainamong.In fact, 90% of dioxins are produced through food such as meat, dairy products, eggs andFresh fishEtc. into the human body.dioxinWill accumulate inHuman fatAnd female breastbreast milkIt is easily passed on to babies, which seriously threatens their health.Moreover, waste incineration is expensive and scarcesocial resultsWaste ofprocessing method。The construction cost is billions, and the annual operating cost is expensive. After operation, it will absorb a lot of waste, including recyclable products, and waste precious resources.Greenpeace urges the government to immediately cancel the plan to build incinerators, fully implement the waste recycling system, and implement the commitment to sustainable development.
4、 Protect the original forest
On EarthforestAbsorbablecarbon dioxide, produce oxygen, fix the soil, adjust the climate,Equilibrium waterOfcirculatory systemAnd provide animals and plants with an idealHabitat。However, in the past 40 years, nearly half of the earth's original forests, about 3 billion hectares, have been destroyed;The remaining 20% are not disturbed by human beings.Primitive forest contains richBiological resources, forecological equilibriumIt plays an extremely important role.The loss of precious primitive forests is like the loss of beautiful natural environment, future economic development opportunities, and animals that have been friends with us for generations.What's more, it will lead to global climate change, and then the earth environment will enter an irreversible vicious circle.
5、 No war
Greenpeace opposes war and supports IsraelNon violenceWays to resolve conflicts.He also advocates the elimination of all weapons of mass destruction possessed by any country.Since the establishment of Greenpeace in 1971, it has been trying to prevent all kinds ofNuclear weaponR&D and use, but also continue to move towards the direction of zero core.
All countries in the world, whether advanced or not, are faced with the problem of "sustainable development".One of the topics is how to properly dispose of waste.The predecessor of most wastes is the limited resources on the earth.Over the past hundred years,the WestOfDevelopment modeThey are all based on excessive consumption of the earth's resources.This way of life is unlikely to change significantly in the short term, but it is worrying thatAsiaSuch developing countries have also gradually embarked on the path of high consumption.This can't help worrying: how long can a life like this waste of resources last, even if it is rich?

Non violent direct action, which is 40 years since the establishment of GreenpeaceCore values。
"Non violent direct action" refers to the direct action taken by the public through peaceful means to expressSocial fairness and justiceOr to achieve the purpose of promoting social change.This is usually the last choice when other "normal" channels are "blocked" everywhere.
Non violence means not using violence,No harmThe body of another person does not resist the violence used by the other party or law enforcement personnel in the process of expressing their will, and does not fight back or scold back;The so-called direct action means that we must be faithful in our words and resolute in our actions, and change injustice with practical actions.The action goals are usually very clear and clear, and take achieving the goals as the criterion of action, so they are similar to the generaldemonstrationThere are differences.
The conduct of nonviolent direct action, sometimesDaily operationIt constitutes a temporary obstacle, so it may be considered radical and irrational.But the purpose of the obstacles is to hope that morePublic participation, or prevent injustice from continuing, not to destroySocial order。In addition, the whole process of action is based on the principle that no one is injured by the action. The requirements of both parties can still be communicated through dialogue and even solved.More importantly, the ultimate purpose of these actions is to highlight the injustice of relevant policies or behaviors, give the powerful party great public pressure, force it to make concessions, and meet the requirements of ordinary citizens.

Greenpeace volunteers
The purpose of Greenpeace volunteers is toprotect the environmentAnd world peace, those who participate in the free work of Greenpeace.The volunteer team is a supporter of Greenpeace and the most valuable resource of Greenpeace.These volunteers come from all walks of life, have various skills, expertise and experience, and support Greenpeace in various ways.Globally, in China, there are a large number of volunteers who selflessly contribute their time and energy to help and participate in the work of Greenpeace, contributing to the achievement of Greenpeace's goals and achievements.
Action brings change.“Non violenceDirect action "is the most well-known and distinctive way of action of Greenpeace.Behind every meticulous and effective action, there are a lot of planning andOrganization;On the stage of every action, there are brave figures of our action members.From all over the world, he has been engaged in all walks of life before, and has entered into Greenpeace for the same dream - on the road of environmental protection, each member is writing the wonderful team in his own position.
The name "Rainbow Warrior" has a touching story behind it.
In 1971, when the first group of Greenpeace members went to Anchika Island, the accompanying journalistsRobert HunterFlip through a small book about Indian myths and legends.He saw such an amazing prophecy: the old woman of Cree told her great grandson a story: the people predicted that the world would be plundered by white peopleEarth resourcesThe period of.Before everything can be saved, the great Indian warriors will be reborn and teach the white people how to treat the earth well - these warriors are honored as "Rainbow Warriors".So the first ship Greenpeace bought later was called "Rainbow Warrior".
The Hope was launched in 2002. The first action it participated in was to promote the project of "Primitive Forest: Protection or Disappearance" in 2002. It is the latest and largest ship in the Greenpeace fleet. It took over the service of MV Greenpeace.Hope is the first ship named by the visitors of Greenpeace website.
Before Greenpeace rented the Polar Dawn, it was once a hunting shipSealsShip.Greenpeace used to ship to France for construction in AntarcticaAirstripI stopped it when building this runway because it would destroy the habitat of penguins.
Polar Dawn began its green peace career in the "Brent Spar" project, where it prevented the scrappeddrilling platformThe "Brent Spar" sank into the North Sea.In 1997, Polar Dawn becameHuman historyThe first ship successfully sailed around James Ross Island in the Antarctic. The reason for the success of this voyage is that it originally connected James Ross Island withAntarctic continentA 200 meter thick ice block collapsed due to climate change.
Greenpeace confronts whaling ships
Since then, this ship has helped Greenpeace witness the destruction of climate change on the survival homes of human and animals for many times.Polar Dawn returned several times laterarctic, to opposeBPOpening new offshore wells“Northstar”Plan for.This plan is likely to cause oil leakage in this vulnerable area, and furtherglobal warming。stayAntarctic OceanAt last, Polar Dawn opposed Japan's so-called "scientific" whaling plan and tracked pirate ships illegally catching Patagonian toothfish to Mauritius, the largest pirate port.In order to prevent the United States from testing the "Star Wars" defense system in 2000, the Polar Dawn launched into the orbit of the missile, but the blocking action was unsuccessful.This defense system may lead to newnuclear weaponarms race。Fortunately, the Polar Dawn survived under the missile, and it continued since 1998ArgentinaSailingLatin AmericaA non-toxic journey.
Argus is the smallest motor ship of Greenpeace, which is basically onlyRotterdam(Netherlands) port or North Sea coastal activities.In 1977,SwedenThe Navy built the Argus, which was then named MS Trymbergen.Greenpeace bought it from a Norwegian company in 2000.Norwegians use it for short distance fishing and naval training.Later, the ship was renamed Agus, and its registered port was Luff Bay in Rotterdam.
Argus is mainly engaged in combating toxic chemistrymaterialProduction, use and dumping projects.The ship itself uses TBT free paint.TBT is a highly toxic chemical used to prevent algae from attaching to the hull.The first action of Argus was in September 2000, when the staff stuck a huge sign "Stop TBT" on the hanger of the ship using TBT paint, marking the ship using TBT with a stigma.In February 2001, when a ship called Saga Tide carriedCanadaThe timber cut from the original forest tries to enterNetherlandsAt Flushing Port,ArgusAppear and block it.In May 2001, the Argus helped seal the heavily polluted Rotterdam Chemical Port.Greenpeace requires AksuShellAnd Shin Vietnam to clean up the chemical port.At the end of July 2001, journalists took the Argus to the North Sea to visit the first offshore built by GreenpeaceWindmill, which happens to beClydeA place where oil companies intend to drill for oil.
Rubber dinghy
Rubber dinghy
Rubber dinghyAlthough not the largest vessels of Greenpeace, they are the most effective fighting weapons for maritime operations.Intercept and kill on the waywhaleWhile stopping dumping into the seaToxic wasteThey all play an important role in combating illegal fishing vessels, which is unmatched by other types of vessels.
Greenpeace's use of rubber boats is a very accidental start.In 1972, when the Vega, the Greenpeace speedboat, was carrying out a nuclear test to prevent France, FranceCommandosThe crew boarded the Vega in a rubber boat and beat the captain hard.The fighting effectiveness of the French commando rubber boats left a legacy for Bob Hunter, the "brain" of Greenpeace at that timeImpressive——Since rubber boats can play such a good role, we should make good use of them.
The rubber boats have their own personalities. All of them have their own names. Some of them simply follow the color orManufacturerNaming;Some leave people rich imagination space.There is a rubber boat on the Hope, nicknamed "African Queen", which was carried in the film of the same nameFilm starHumphrey Bogart andKathrynHepburn went to Congo.The rubber dinghy Billy G is for commemorationdie young's filmmakersBilly GreeneAfter he was shot and killed, his mother Robin Davey hoped that Greenpeace's brave rubber boat could be engraved with his son's name to witness and protect the earth he respected and loved.
In the past decades, many rubber boats have had unusual experiences.Some have been filled with whole barrelsradioactivityRubbish has been smashed, some have been squeezed by illegal timber transport vessels, some have been detained by the police, and some have been worn and scrapped.It is with people like Billy G, people who write to us and support us, wherever you are, our fleet will go all out to create a better world with action.Please don't underestimate the power you bring.
Hot Air Balloon
GreenpeaceHot Air BalloonIt can carry three people: one pilot and two passengers, such as project director, photographer or skydiver.In addition, 3 ground personnel are required.This balloon can only be used when the wind speed is not high (10 knots at most).In many parts of the world, Greenpeace hot air balloons can only be used two hours before sunrise or two hours after sunset.This is because the daytime sun will raise the atmospheric temperature and generate heat, making the flight of balloons dangerous.In winter, the sun is not so hot, so balloons have more opportunities to fly in the daytime.
Under normal conditions (low temperature at 2000 meters above sea level), the balloon can stay in the air for up to two hours.There are two kinds of balloon flight: free flight or rope flight.In free flight, the balloon will follow the wind.The pilot can use the wind direction at different heights to control the direction of the balloon to some extent.During rope pulling flight, the wind speed (about 8 knots) is smaller than that during free flight, because the balloon is resisting the wind, and hot air is more likely to blow the balloon out, causing the balloon to fall.Greenpeace uses balloons to accomplish many thingsProject activities, such as hangingBannerA platform for taking photos of polluted environment, detecting air pollution and skydiving.
The most famous Greenpeace hot-air balloon voyage in history includes: Flying over Germany in 1983BerlinWall, leap over Nevada nuclear test site in 1987, leap over India in 1998Taj MahalProtest against the nuclear test.

Private property
Greenpeace claimed that it "adheres to nonviolent means and peacefully engages in the ideal environmental protection under the principle of not infringing on the person and property".But their words and deeds are not consistent.
On April 7, 1997AtlanticIn the northeast waters, Greenpeace members destroyed a shipOil and gas explorationMarine equipment of the ship.A Greenpeace member who took part in the action said: "It is dangerous to damage the exploration equipment, but the oil companies have not put the climate issue above commercial interests, so we should do it for them."
On March 23, 2000, Greenpeace protesters broke into Hong Kong Island West WasteTransfer stationAbout 30 people climbed on a ship carrying wasteContainer ship, launched a sit in to protest Hong Kong'sKennedy TownBurn waste and garbage.However, the incinerator they protested against was closed in 1994, and Hong Kong did not use incineration at all in 2000Municipal domestic waste。The ship "Rainbow Warrior", which was shipped to Hong Kong by Greenpeace, also brought about 10 tonsWaste oilAnd three cubic meters of ordinary garbage, it is up to Hong Kong taxpayers to pay the Hong Kong government to dispose of them.
On February 11, 2011, Greenpeace demonstrators destroyedSpainOnenuclear power plantAnd climb onto the cooling tower of the nuclear power plant, forcing the power plantEmergency stopoperate.This kind of emergency suspension will bring disaster to nuclear power plants if they are not careful.Greenpeace, regardless of the safety of local people and power plant staff, has taken them as hostages to threaten the shutdown of the power plantGovernment fundingOther new energy programs promoted by it.
On July 14, 2011, Greenpeace demonstrators broke into aCanberraThe pilot farm.This farm has planted half a hectare of wheat that can reduce blood sugar coefficient, improve intestinal health and improve nutritional value. Because these wheat are genetically modified experimental wheat seeds, Greenpeace demonstrators ignored the self claimed principle of "not infringing on property" and crossed the fence of the farm to destroy them.

On July 21, 2011, members of Greenpeace were suspected of illegal destructionCSIROProperty,AustraliaThe police raided and blocked Greenpeace'sSydneyHeadquarters, but no one was arrested.The International Plant Protection Association (CropLife) condemned the attack and sabotage of "Greenpeace", saying that they were obstructing valuable scientific research.
Partiality
In 1995, Greenpeace learned thatShellBrandt Spaer approved to be abolishedOil storage platformDeep buried in the North Sea.That summer, Greenpeace members occupied thisOil platformThe goal is to prevent Shell from burying or moving it. Greenpeace's German branch also proposed to extend the occupation period from several weeks to several months.From May to June of that year, the movement formed considerable momentum in Europe, especially in Germany. The local Shell gas station was even set on fire by demonstrators encouraged by Greenpeace.
In June, under great pressure, Shell announced that it would abandon the deepwater treatment scheme for the platform.The subsequent independent investigation found that the Brent Spaer oil storage platform had been thoroughly cleaned before being abandoned. Except for a pile of scrap iron, there was no toxic andRadioactive waste。Although Greenpeace admitted its mistake, it still publicly stated that it would not change its position against Shell's deep sea burial scheme.As early as 1987, the original "Rainbow Warrior" ship that Greenpeace could not repair was sunkNew ZealandThe bay has become a man-made reef.It is also a lot of scrap iron. When the Brent Spaer oil storage platform was buried, Greenpeace said that "Shell regards the North Sea as its own homeLandfill”;When the Rainbow Warrior was buried, Greenpeace claimed that it was "an artificial island reef conducive to marine ecology".
Greenpeace is notTerrorist organizationsHowever, the ideological resources of eco terrorist organizations are only 50 steps and 100 steps different from the extreme trend of thought of Greenpeace that "human beings are dispensable on the earth".In Peter Liszt's research work Radical Environmentalism: Philosophy and Strategies, it is mentioned that the films shot by Greenpeace have softened the public's moral attitude towards extreme environmental protection behaviors and increased their acceptance of 'unconventional' environmental protection strategies. "Greenpeace believers who accept this concept are more likely to believe that the eco terrorist organization" is for the highestwild animalAnd the life of vegetation, setting fire and throwing bombs is nothing ".In Ecological Terrorism: Extreme Environmental Protection and Animal Liberation Movement, published by Preg Press in 2006, it was mentioned that those eco terrorists who are keen on arson, smashing and violence are "often recruited from people who share the same ideas with Greenpeace".
lie
In addition to frequently destroying others' private property by violence, Greenpeace is also often exposed to lie.Greenpeace has always claimed that in the first 50 to 75 years of the 21st century, more than half of the species on the earth will be extinct.However, Bjorn Lomborg, a scientist who has devoted himself to environmental protection for many years, mentioned in his book The Suspicious Environmentalist that he had publicly pointed out the mistake of this conclusion to Greenpeace for many times: the most pessimistic estimation data that can stand up in science is only 0.7% of the earth's species will disappear in five or ten years, compared with half of the proportion is very different.GreenpeaceDenmarkThe head of the branch had to admit that the organization accepted the correction of Bjorn Lomborg, but the official biodiversity report of Greenpeace Headquarters still insisted on the original wrong argument.After the Norwegian media publicly questioned Greenpeace's Norwegian branch, the head of Greenpeace Norway had to holdPress conference, accepted the criticism and declared "the data before re evaluation", but said: "If most people do not believe that the world will faceEcological disasterThen they will not take environmental protection organizations seriously. "That is to say, Greenpeace lies for the fate of the earth. Don't be too critical of their views.
