READING
In 1971, a small boat set sail from Vancouver, Canada, to Amchitka. It was a gesture of non-violent
protest against a nuclear test that was to be conducted by the United States government. Despite the
protests, the US refused to change its plans to conduct the test. Sadly, the ship and her crew did not
reach Amchitka and failed to prevent the nuclear test from occurring. Although Amchitka had not had
any inhabitants since the mid-nineteenth century and there was no imminent danger to humans, the
explosion caused tremendous suffering to local wildlife. The voyage of the Phyllis Cormack did not
succeed in stopping the nuclear test, but this peaceful demonstration did have a very positive outcome. It
attracted world-wide attention and gave birth to the international movement called Greenpeace.
Today, Greenpeace is an international, non-profit organization with offices in more than forty
countries. Greenpeace representatives from around the world meet each year to discuss environmental
issues and concerns of the global community. According to its website, “Greenpeace exists because this
fragile earth deserves a voice. It needs solutions. It needs change. It needs action.” Greenpeace is
committed to making the public aware of environmental abuses. It seeks change through creative,
nonviolent confrontations between activists and those responsible for harming the environment.
Greenpeace is currently working in six major areas where there is significant threat to the
environment. The first two areas address radiation and chemical contaminants. The third area of concern
is the threat posed to the environment by genetically engineered food ingredients, which cause
irreversible biological pollution and many types of health risks. A fourth item on the Greenpeace agenda
is the protection of marine life. Of particular concern are commercial fishing practices that do not
protect endangered species. Greenpeace is also engaged in educating the world community about the
effects of global warming.
Finally, Greenpeace actively supports measures that will protect the remaining ancient forests of the
world. With more than 80 percent of the world’s forests already gone, preserving what we have left
seems more urgent than ever. In a recent victory, the Maisin people of Collingwood Bay, in Papua New
Guinea, won a three-year legal struggle to deny loggers access to their land. Greenpeace played an
important role in defending the interests of the Maisin in the court case.
