Get the Greenpie mug.Greenpeace is a non-profit organization that is made up of strong dedicated members. Greenpeace is helping to end whaling, stop nuclear testing, protect Antarctica, stop the clear-cutting of ancient forests, protect the oceans, and so much more. Today, they are over 2.8 million members strong, and are continuing to grow. They achieve all of this in a non-violent, peaceful manner and for this are respected worldwide. And for the people who believe that greenpeace is just a bunch a treehuggers; think again. We're just normal people who manage to think beyond our own selves, and give back to the world. Greenpeace has helped out our planet when it is in need numerous times, and is continuing to do so.
