Core values of Greenpeace Independence: they do not accept money from governments, corporations or political parties because it would compromise their core values. Bearing witness: their peaceful protests work to raise awareness and bring public opinion to bear on decision-makers. Non-violent direct action: they strongly believe that violence in any form is morally wrong and accomplishes nothing. Greenpeace takes non-violent direct action at the point of an environmental crime to expose an environmental problem.

The history of Greenpeace In 1971, motivated by their vision of a green and peaceful world, a small team of activists set sail from Vancouver, Canada, in an old fishing boat. These activists, the founders of Greenpeace, believed a few individuals could make a difference. Click on the book below to access a comprehensive guide to the history of Greenpeace

Why should we care? Catholic Social Teaching: STEWARDSHIP OF CREATION We must all respect, care for and share the resources of the earth, which are vital for the common good of people. Care for animals and the environment is a common and universal duty, and changes in the environment call for a change of mentality and the adoption of new lifestyles.
