Greenpeace The world's largest environmental campaign organization, with over 4.5 million supporters worldwide. It was founded in 1971 in British Columbia (Canada) to organize protests against US nuclear testing at Amchitka Island, Alaska. It has campaigned against nuclear testing, whaling, and the dumping of toxic and radioactive waste. Its methods have been direct and spectacular to attract maximum media attention, but always non-violent. Despite this, in 1985 its ship
Rainbow Warrior was sunk by French intelligence agents off New Zealand.
