Help Defend the Natural World – Stop Climate Change, Defend Oceans, Forests, and Work for Peace!


Thank you for showing an interest in my blog! In the blog below, I am trying to gain awareness for the needed respect of the natural world with the charity Greenpeace. This is a very good charity that helps work for defense against climate change, pollution in oceans, deforestation, toxics and anything that might destroy the chances of a greener and more peaceful world.

This charity helps defend the natural world and promotes peace by investigating, exposing and confronting environmental abuse, and championing environmentally responsible solutions. All over the world people have woken up to the threat of climate change, pollution and the cutting down of trees and are working to reduce the damage by reducing the use of fossil fuels, stopping forest destruction, getting power from clean energy and many more ways to ensure the sustainability of the Earth!

Every year more and more animals are becoming the victims of habitat destruction and soon so will humans, but there are ways you could help stop this including fundraising and/or donating to Greenpeace, campaign online, volunteer, and generally become more aware of the cause and telling your friends or family about it.

Soon, if the environment continues to be treated with disrespect, our future generations will be living in the scraps of the mistreated planet. We need to provide the needs of present generations while identifying the needs of future generations and taking action against behaviour that could destruct it!

Why we should help the planet:

·              - The number of extinct animals are increasing each year due to destruction of habitats.
·              - Marine ecosystems are destroyed due to the lack of respect of the ocean.
·              - If we want a healthy planet, we have to take action against the oil industry and pollution.
·              - As shown in the image above, forests are being cut down and destroyed.
·              - To learn more information about why we should help and the vision of Greenpeace, see:      http://www.greenpeace.org.uk/about/our-vision.

I hope you are more informed about Greenpeace and the work they do and together we can help the planet to become a more eco-friendly and sustainable place! At the bottom I would love if you could give me some evidence of how successful my blog was and if you would like to help. If you could respond by answering some short questions, here they are, and thank you:

Have you ever heard of Greenpeace before reading?

Do you feel more informed?

Would you be prepared to support Greenpeace?

Would you make a donation?

Would you tell your friends to support Greenpeace?

Have I changed your attitude towards the environment and the urge to protect it? If yes, how?

And if possible state your hometown and/or country!

Thank you very much. Imogan.
