Greenpeace is the leading independent campaigning organization that uses peaceful direct action and creative communcation to expose global environmental problems and to promote solutions that are essential to a green and peaceful future.

Greenpeace has indeed changed the world, and they continue to make the world a better place. Their committed activists and supporters have come together to ban commercial whaling, convince the world’s leaders to stop nuclear testing, protect Antarctica, and so much more. Today, they have grown from a small group of dedicated activists to an international organization with offices in more than 30 countries. But their spirit and our mission remain the same. Their fight to save the planet has grown more serious – the threat of global warming, destruction of ancient forests, deterioration of our oceans, and the threat of a nuclear disaster loom large. Greenpeace is actively working to address these and other threats.

Environment New York is a statewide, citizen-based environmental advocacy organization. Their staff combines independent research, practical ideas and tough-minded advocacy to overcome the opposition of powerful special interests and win real results for New York's environment. Environment New York's staff draws on 30 years of success in tackling our state's top environmental problems.

As part of Environment America, they fight to protect our air, water and open spaces, here in New York, in state capitols across the country, and in Washington, D.C.
