Often I write posts about the current campaigns Greenpeace are holding and how you can get involved. Two of their main long running campaigns that I have been supporting have been successful and I wanted to share those successes. They prove we can make a difference and it is important we know that when we are of a generation who's opinions are often ignored by many.
John West, the tuna company that violate human rights laws and kill sharks in it's fishing processes has promised to clean up it's act after 2 years of campaigning by Greenpeace. It has committed to protecting workers and stopping destructive fishing practises. This will improve the quality of workers lives as well as our oceans.
HSBC and other banks have Palm Oil companies as investors that destroy rainforests. After Greenpeace campaigned for them to not support irresponsible companies, HSBC has triggered investigations into the actions of Palm Oil companies, which have stopped the destruction of an area of rainforest 3 times the size of Manhattan.
Still, Greenpeace have many more unresolved campaigns on the go. Visit their site to get involved and make a change.
