Mini Project #1 Environmental Organizations

Upon analyzing the different environmental organizations; Greenpeace, National Resource Defense Council, and Wildspots Foundation I have determined that I would rather join the Greenpeace Environmental Organization because upon examining their goals and mission statement I find that it is the most well rounded organization who aims to help all aspects of our planet including society.
Greenpeace participates in the defense of animal wildlife as well as plants, forests and marine life. They aim to preserve and protect our oceans and put an end to destructive fishing as well as the disposal of wasteful chemicals into our oceans. Greenpeace even takes part in socially responsible farming and the elimination of harmful chemicals in agriculture which directly affects the lives and health of all living organisms on earth.
But what stood out to me the most was this organization's stand on disarment and peace. They work towards putting an end to conflict and the use of nuclear weapons. I find it to be wonderful that they take a stand on wildlife and our environment as well as peace and violence which is one of the biggest problems on earth today. This is an organization that is environmentally and SOCIALLY conscious and that is why it would be the one I would choose to join.
It is true that Greenpeace has taken some drastic measures in the past in order to put a stop to activities that are hurtful to our environment and many might be in opposition to these actions but I must say that sometimes in order to make an impact and stop those harming the environment drastic is the only way to go. Keep in mind that things such as offshore oil drilling and genetic engineering can be very porfitable businesses and a subtle request on behalf of environmental activists is not going to do the trick. These people are in it for the money and they will continue to look out for their own selfish needs until drastic measures are taken. Sometimes it is essential to demonstrate that you mean business and Greenpeace gets their point across. I respect them for that.
