Greenpeace not a charity
One thing many people can be forgiven for not realising, is that Greenpeace is not actually a registered charity.
It is a non profit organisation set up to protect the environment during a time when it is becoming more and more clear that many beautiful and crucially important parts of our planet are being defiled and degraded in order to keep a rather unstable world moving with timber, oil, animal products and intensive unsustainable farming.
Greenpeace and other similar conservation organisations employ direct action combined with public campaign actions to tackle these issues.
