☮ History ☮
In 1971, a small team, from Vancouver Canada set sail on a small fishing vessel, called the Phyllis Cormack to the Amchitka Islands in Alaska. Their Mission was too protest against Nuclear Testing off of the Alaskan Coast. Amchitka was the last refuge for 3,000 endangered sea otters, and home to bald eagles, peregrine falcons, and other wildlife. The U.S. still detonated the bomb, and the Phyllis Cormack was intercepted by the Coast Guard before it’s arrival, but the voice of reason had been heard. Nuclear testing on Amchitka ended that same year, and the island was later declared a bird sanctuary.
These activists, the founders of Greenpeace, believed a few individuals could make a difference. And that they did today GreenPeace is an International Organization that specializes in global environmental campaigns.

☮ Opinion ☮
In my opinion Yes, I see the GreenPeace Organization as an effective group because they clearly are very passionate about their beliefs. They bring up many issues that most Americans are not aware of. Also they are not only just a Domestic organization but also and International one as well.
