Abstract
Greenpeace, an environmental organization, was founded in Canada in 1971 in order to protest American nuclear testing in Alaska. This is a non-violent and a non-profit organization. Its action takes the form of direct confrontation with the government to contest a policy for its estimated adverse effects on the environment. Greenpeace is an international organization that is independent of any government and is very well organized with regard to its campaigns. Its campaigns are clear and precise and its founding principles are clear and intelligent. Founded by young rebels in the early 1970s, it has an impressive budget and fiery campaigners to kick start and follow up on crucial issues.
