Greenpeace: Definition from Answers.com
Greenpeace International environmental organization. Founded in Canada in 1971 to oppose U.S. nuclear testing in Alaska, it later expanded its goals
In a few years Greenpeace spread to several countries and started to campaign on other environmental issues such as commercial whaling and toxic waste. In the late 1970s the different regional Greenpeace groups formed Greenpeace International to oversee the goals and operations of the regional organizations globally.7 Greenpeace received international attention during the 80s when the French intelligence agency bombed the Rainbow Warrior in Auckland's Waitemata Harbour one of the most well-known vessels operated by Greenpeace killing one individual.8 In the following years Greenpeace evolved into one of the largest environmental organizations in the world.910

In the late 1960s the U.S. had plans for an underground nuclear weapon test in the tectonically unstable island of Amchitka at Alaska. Because of the 1964 Alaska earthquake the plans raised some concerns of the test triggering earthquakes and causing a tsunami. Anti-nuclear activists protested against the test on the border of U.S. and Canada with signs reading "Don't Make A Wave. It's Your Fault If Our Fault Goes". The protests did not stop the US from detonating the bomb.25

While no earthquake nor tsunami followed the test the opposition grew when the U.S. announced they would detonate a bomb five times more powerful than the first one. Among the opposers were Jim Bohlen a veteran who had served the U.S. Navy during the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and Irving and Dorothy Stowe a Jewish couple who had recently become Quaker. As members of the Sierra Club Canada they were frustrated from the lack of action by the organization.25 From Irving Stowe Jim Bohlen learned of a form of passive resistance "bearing witness" where objectionable activity is protested simply by mere presence.25 Jim Bohlen's wife Marie came up with the idea to sail to Amchitka inspired by the anti-nuclear voyages of Albert Bigelow in 1958. The idea ended up in the press and was linked to The Sierra Club.25 The Sierra Club did not like this connection and in 1970 The Don't Make a Wave Committee was established for the protest. Early meetings were held in the Shaughnessy home of Robert and Bobbi Hunter. Subsequently the Stowe home at 2775 Courtenay St. became the HQ.26 The first office was opened in a back-room storefront on Cypress and Bwy SE corner in Kitsilano (Vancouver) before moving to West 4th at Maple (see below).27

There is some debate as to who are the actual founders of The Don't Make a Wave Committee. Researcher Vanessa Timmer has referred the early members as "an unlikely group of loosely organized protestors".28 According to the Greenpeace web page the founders were Dorothy and Irving Stowe Marie and Jim Bohlen Ben and Dorothy Metcalfe and Robert Hunter. The book The Greenpeace Story states that the founders were Irving Stowe Jim Bohlen and Paul Cote a law student and peace activist.25 An interview with Dorothy Stowe Dorothy Metcalfe Jim Bohlen and Robert Hunter identifies the founders as Paul Cote Irving and Dorothy Stowe and Jim and Marie Bohlen.29 Paul Watson who also participated in the anti-nuclear protests maintains that he also was one of the founders.30 Another early member Patrick Moore also has stated that he was one of the founders31 but this claim is contradicted by an early application letter from Moore to The Don't Make a Wave Committee.32

In the fall of 1971 the ship sailed towards Amchitka and faced the U.S. navy ship Confidence.25 Even though the crew of the Confidence personally supported the cause of Greenpeace the activists were forced to turn back. Because of this and the increasingly bad weather the crew decided to return to Canada only to find out that the news about their journey and the support from the crew of the Confidence had generated widespread compassion for their protest.25 After this Greenpeace tried to navigate to the test site with other vessels until the U.S. detonated the bomb.25 The nuclear test gained widespread criticism and the U.S. decided not to continue with their test plans at Amchitka. In 1972 The Don't Make a Wave committee changed their official name to Greenpeace Foundation.25 While the organization was founded under a different name in 1970 and was officially named Greenpeace in 1972 the organization itself dates its birth to the first protest of 1971.34 Greenpeace also states that "there was no single founder and the name idea spirit tactics and internationalism of the organization all can be said to have separate lineages".35 As Rex Weyler put it in his authoritative chronology Greenpeace in 1969 Irving and Dorothy Stowe's "quiet home on Courtenay Street would soon become a hub of monumental global significance". Some of the first Greenpeace meetings were held there and it served as the first office of the Greenpeace Foundation. After the office in the Stowe home (and after the first concert fund-raiser) Greenpeace functions moved to other private homes before settling in the fall of 1974 in a small office shared with the SPEC environmental group at 2007 W. 4th Avenue at Maple Street across from the Bimini neighbourhood pub. The address of this office has since been changed to 2009 W. 4th Avenue. The building still exists and the office is up the stair at the 2009 door. First campaigns after Amchitka After the nuclear tests at Amchitka were over Greenpeace moved its focus to the French atmospheric nuclear weapons testing at the Moruroa Atoll in French Polynesia. The young organization needed help for their protests and were contacted by David McTaggart a former businessman living in New Zealand. In 1972 the yacht Vega a 12.5-metre (41 ft) ketch owned by David McTaggart was renamed Greenpeace III and sailed in an anti-nuclear protest into the exclusion zone at Moruroa to attempt to disrupt French nuclear testing. This voyage was sponsored and organized by the New Zealand branch of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament.36 The French Navy tried to stop the protest in several ways including assaulting David McTaggart. After the assault was publicized France announced it would stop the atmospheric nuclear tests.25 In the mid-1970s some Greenpeace members started an independent campaign Project Ahab against commercial whaling since Irving Stowe was against Greenpeace focusing on other issues than nuclear weapons. After Irving Stowe died in 1975 Phyllis Cormack left from Vancouver to face Soviet whalers on the coast of California. Greenpeace activists disrupted the whaling by going between the harpoons and the whales and the footage of the protests spread across the world. Later in the 1970s the organization widened its focus to include toxic waste and commercial seal hunting.25 Organizational development MV Esperanza a former fire-fighter owned by the Russian Navy was relaunched by Greenpeace in 2002 Greenpeace evolved into a less conservative and structured collectiveclarification needed of environmentalists who were more reflective of the counterculture and hippie youth movements of the 1960s and 1970s.37 The social and cultural background from which Greenpeace emerged heralded a period of de-conditioning away from old world antecedents and sought to develop new codes of social environmental and political behavior.638 Historian Frank Zelko has commented that "unlike Friends of the Earth for example which sprung fully formed from the forehead of David Brower Greenpeace developed in a more evolutionary manner."7 In the mid-1970s independent groups using the name Greenpeace started springing up world wide. By 1977 there were 15 to 20 Greenpeace groups around the world.7 At the same time the Canadian Greenpeace office was heavily in debt. Disputes between offices over fund-raising and organizational direction split the global movement as the North American offices were reluctant to be under the authority of the Vancouver office and its president Patrick Moore.7 After the incidents of Moruroa David McTaggart had moved to France to battle in court with the French state and helped to develop the cooperation of European Greenpeace groups.25 David McTaggart lobbied the Canadian Greenpeace Foundation to accept a new structure which would bring the scattered Greenpeace offices under the auspices of a single global organization. The European Greenpeace paid the debt of the Canadian Greenpeace office and on October 14 1979 Greenpeace International came into existence.728 Under the new structure the local offices would contribute a percentage of their income to the international organization which would take responsibility for setting the overall direction of the movement with each regional office having one vote.7 Some Greenpeace groups namely London Greenpeace (dissolved in 2001) and the US-based Greenpeace Foundation (still operational) however decided to remain independent from Greenpeace International.3940 Priorities and campaigns On its official website Greenpeace defines its mission as the following: Greenpeace is an independent global campaigning organization that acts to change attitudes and behaviour to protect and conserve the environment and to promote peace by: Catalysing an energy revolution to address the number one threat facing our planet: climate change. Defending our oceans by challenging wasteful and destructive fishing and creating a global network of marine reserves. Protecting the worlds remaining ancient forests which are depended on by many animals plants and people. Working for disarmament and peace by reducing dependence on finite resources and calling for the elimination of all nuclear weapons. Creating a toxin free future with safer alternatives to hazardous chemicals in today's products and manufacturing. Campaigning for sustainable agriculture by encouraging socially and ecologically responsible farming practices. Greenpeace International41 Climate and energy An inflatable snow man conveying "Stop Global Warming!" at the G8 (2007) Greenpeace was one of the first parties to formulate a sustainable development scenario for climate change mitigation which it did in 1993.42 According to sociologists Marc Mormont and Christine Dasnoy Greenpeace played a significant role in raising public awareness of global warming in the 1990s.43 The organization has also focused on CFCs because of both their global warming potential and their effect on the ozone layer. Greenpeace was one of the leading participants advocating early phase-out of ozone depleting substances in the Montreal Protocol.18 In the early 1990s Greenpeace developed a CFC-free refrigerator technology "Greenfreeze" for mass production together with the refrigerator industry.18 United Nations Environment Programme awarded Greenpeace for "outstanding contributions to the protection of the Earth's ozone layer" in 1997.44 In 2007 one third of the world's total production of refrigerators were based on Greenfreeze technology with over 200 million units in use.18 Currently Greenpeace considers global warming to be the greatest environmental problem facing the Earth.41 Greenpeace calls for global greenhouse gas emissions to peak in 2015 and to decrease as close to zero as possible by 2050. For this Greenpeace calls for the industrialized countries to cut their emissions at least 40% by 2020 (from 1990 levels) and to give substantial funding for developing countries to build a sustainable energy capacity to adapt to the inevitable consequences of global warming and to stop deforestation by 2020.45 Together with EREC Greenpeace has formulated a global energy scenario "Energy Revolution" where 80% of the world's total energy is produced with renewables and the emissions of the energy sector are decreased by over 80% of the 1990 levels by 2050.46 Using direct action Greenpeace has protested several times against coal by occupying coal power plants and blocking coal shipments and mining operations in places such as New Zealand47 Svalbard48 Australia49 and the United Kingdom.50 Greenpeace is also critical of extracting petroleum from oil sands and has used direct action to block the oil sand operations at Athabasca Canada.5152 The Kingsnorth court case In October 2007 six Greenpeace protesters were arrested for breaking in to the Kingsnorth power station climbing the 200 metre smokestack painting the name Gordon on the chimney and causing an estimated 30000 damage. At their subsequent trial they admitted trying to shut the station down but argued that they were legally justified because they were trying to prevent climate change from causing greater damage to property elsewhere around the world. Evidence was heard from David Cameron's environment adviser Zac Goldsmith climate scientist James E. Hansen and an Inuit leader from Greenland all saying that climate change was already seriously affecting life around the world. The six activists were acquitted. It was the first case where preventing property damage caused by climate change has been used as part of a "lawful excuse" defence in court.53 Both The Daily Telegraph and The Guardian described the acquittal as embarrassment to the Brown Ministry.5455 In December 2008 The New York Times listed the acquittal in its annual list of the most influential ideas of the year.56 "Go Beyond Oil" As part of their stance on the subject re-newable energy Greenpeace have launched the "Go Beyond Oil" campaign.57 The campain is focused on slowing and eventually ending the world's consumption of oil; with activist activities taking place against companies that pursue oil drilling as a venture. Much of the activities of the "Go Beyond Oil" campaign have been focused on drilling for oil in the Arctic and areas affected by the Deepwater Horizon disaster. The activities of Greenpeace in the arctic have mainly involved the Edinburgh-based oil and gas exploration company Cairn Energy; and range from protests at the Cairn Energy's headquarters58 to scalling their oil rigs in an attempt to halt the drilling process.59 The "Go Beyond Oil" campaign also involves applying political pressure on the governments who allow oil exploration in their territories; with the group stating that one of the key aims of the "Go Beyond Oil" campaign is to "work to expose the lengths the oil industry is willing to go to squeeze the last barrels out of the ground and put pressure on industry and governments to move beyond oil."57 Nuclear power Greenpeace views nuclear power as a relatively minor industry with major problems such as environmental damage and risks from uranium mining nuclear weapons proliferation and unresolved questions concerning nuclear waste. The organization argues that the potential of nuclear power to mitigate global warming is marginal referring to the IEA energy scenario where an increase in world's nuclear capacity from 2608 TWh in 2007 to 9857 TWh by 2050 would cut global greenhouse gas emissions less than 5% and at require 32 nuclear reactor units of 1000MW capacity built per year until 2050. According to Greenpeace the slow construction times construction delays and hidden costs all limit the mitigation potential of nuclear power. This makes the IEA scenario technically and financially unrealistic. They also argue that binding massive amounts of investments on nuclear energy would take funding away from more effective solutions.46 Greenpeace views the construction of Olkiluoto 3 nuclear power plant in Finland as an example of the problems on building new nuclear power.60 Anti-nuclear advertisement In 1994 Greenpeace published an anti-nuclear newspaper advert which included a claim that nuclear facilities Sellafield would kill 2000 people in the next 10 years and an image of a hydrocephalus-affected child said to be a victim of nuclear weapons testing in Kazakhstan. Advertising Standards Authority viewed the claim concerning Sellafield unsubstantiated and ASA did not accept that the child's condition was caused by radiation. This resulted in banning of the advert. Greenpeace did not admit fault stating that a Kazakhstan doctor had said that the child's condition was due to nuclear testing. Adam Woolf from Greenpeace also stated that "fifty years ago there were many experts who would be lined up and swear there was no link between smoking and bad health."61 The UN has estimated that the nuclear weapon tests in Kazakhstan caused about 100000 people to suffer over three generations.62 Press release blunder In Philadelphia in 2006 Greenpeace issued a press release that said "In the twenty years since the Chernobyl tragedy the world's worst nuclear accident there have been nearly FILL IN ALARMIST AND ARMAGEDDONIST FACTOID HERE" The final report warned of plane crashes and reactor meltdowns.63 According to a Greenpeace spokesman the memo was a joke that was accidentally released.63 Forest campaign Greenpeace aims at protecting intact primary forests from deforestation and degradation with the target of zero deforestation by 2020. Greenpeace has accused several corporations such as Unilever64 Nike65 and McDonald's66 of having links to the deforestation of the tropical rainforests resulting in policy changes in several of the companies under criticism.676869 Greenpeace together with other environmental NGOs also campaigned for ten years for the EU to ban import of illegal timber. The EU decided to ban illegal timber on July 2010.70 As deforestation contributes to global warming Greenpeace has demanded that REDD (Reduced Emission from Deforestation and Forest Degradation) should be included in the climate treaty following the Kyoto treaty.71 Removal of ancient tree In June 1995 Greenpeace took a trunk of a tree from the forests of the proposed national park of Koitajoki72 in Ilomantsi Finland and put it on display at exhibitions held in Austria and Germany. Greenpeace said in a press conference that the tree was originally from a logged area in the ancient forest which was supposed to be protected. Metshallitus accused Greenpeace of theft and said that the tree was from a normal forest and had been left standing because of its old age. Metshallitus also said that the tree had actually crashed over a road during a storm.73 The incident received publicity in Finland for example in the large newspapers Helsingin Sanomat and Ilta-Sanomat.74 Greenpeace replied that the tree had fallen down because of the protective forest around it had been clearcut and that they wanted to highlight the fate of old forests in general not the fate of one particular tree.75 Greenpeace also highlighted that Metshallitus admitted the value of the forest afterwards as Metshallitus currently refers to Koitajoki as a distinctive area because of its old growth forests.7677 The 'Tokyo Two' Main article: Tokyo Two In 2008 two Greenpeace anti-whaling activists Junichi Sato and Toru Suzuki stole a case of whale meat from a delivery depot in Aomori prefecture Japan. Their intention was to expose what they considered embezzlement of the meat collected during whale hunts. After a brief investigation of their allegations was ended Sato and Suzuki were arrested and charged with theft and trespass.78 Amnesty International said that the arrests and following raids on Greenpeace Japan office and homes of five of Greenpeace staff members were aimed at intimidating activists and non-governmental organizations.79 Their trial was completed in June 2010 and they are awaiting the verdict. Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) Greenpeace has also supported the rejection of GM food from the US in famine-stricken Zambia as long as supplies of non-genetically engineered grain exist stating that the US "should follow in the European Union's footsteps and allow aid recipients to choose their food aid buying it locally if they wish. This practise can stimulate developing economies and creates more robust food security" adding that "if Africans truly have no other alternative the controversial GE maize should be milled so it can't be planted. It was this condition that allowed Zambia's neighbours Zimbabwe and Malawi to accept it."80 After Zambia banned all GM food aid the former agricultural minister of Zambia criticized "how the various international NGOs that have spoken approvingly of the government's action will square the body count with their various consciences."81 Concerning the decision of Zambia Greenpeace has stated that "it was obvious to us that if no non-GM aid was being offered then they should absolutely accept GM food aid. But the Zambian government decided to refuse the GM food. We offered our opinion to the Zambian government and as many governments do they disregarded our advice."82 Greenpeace on golden rice Greenpeace opposes the planned use of golden rice a variety of Oryza sativa rice produced through genetic engineering to biosynthesize beta-carotene a precursor of pro-vitamin A in the edible parts of rice. According to Greenpeace golden rice has not managed to do anything about malnutrition for 10 years during which alternative methods are already tackling malnutrition. The alternative proposed by Greenpeace is to discourage mono-cropping and to increase production of crops which are naturally nutrient-rich (containing other nutrients not found in golden rice in addition to beta-carotene). Greenpeace argues that resources should be spent on programs that are already working and helping to relieve malnutrition.83 The Golden Rice Project acknowledges that "While the most desirable option is a varied and sufficient diet this goal is not always achievable at least not in the short term."84 The renewal of these concerns coincided with the publication of a paper in the journal Nature about a version of golden rice with much higher levels of beta carotene.85 This "golden rice 2" was developed and patented by Syngenta which provoked Greenpeace to renew its allegation that the project is driven by profit motives.86 Dr. C.S. Prakash who is the director of the Center for Plant Biotechnology Research at Tuskegee University and is president of the AgBioWorld Foundation expressed the opinion that "critics condemned biotechnology as something that is purely for profit that is being pursued only in the West and with no benefits to the consumer. Golden Rice proves them wrong so they need to discredit it any way they can."87 Although Greenpeace had admitted efficiency to be its primary concern as early as 200188 statements from March and April 2005 also continued to express concern over human health and environmental safety8990 Greenpeace has opposed releasing golden rice to fields as opposed to farming in greenhouses which according to golden rice developer Ingo Potrykus limits the amount of material needed for human safety testing.91 Organizational structure Governance The governance and management structure of Greenpeace. Greenpeace consists of Greenpeace International (officially Stichting Greenpeace Council) based in Amsterdam Netherlands and 28 regional offices operating in 45 countries.92 The regional offices work largely autonomously under the supervision of Greenpeace International. The executive director of Greenpeace is elected by the board members of Greenpeace International. The current director of Greenpeace International is Kumi Naidoo and the current Chair of the Board is Lalita Ramdas.9394 Greenpeace has a staff of 24005 and 15000 volunteers globally.95 Each regional office is led by a regional executive director elected by the regional board of directors. The regional boards also appoint a trustee to The Greenpeace International Annual general meeting where the trustees elect or remove the board of directors of Greenpeace International. The role of the annual general meeting is also to discuss and decide the overall principles and strategically important issues for Greenpeace in collaboration with the trustees of regional offices and Greenpeace International board of directors.96 Funding Greenpeace street fundraiser talking to a passer-by. Greenpeace receives its funding from individual supporters and foundations.34 Greenpeace screens all major donations in order to ensure it does not receive unwanted donations.97 The organization does not accept money from governments intergovernmental organizations political parties or corporations in order to avoid their influence.3497 Donations from foundations which are funded by political parties or receive most of their funding from governments or intergovernmental organizations are rejected. Foundation donations are also rejected if the foundations attach unreasonable conditions restrictions or constraints on Greenpeace activities or if the donation would compromise the independence and aims of Greenpeace.97 Since in the mid-1990s the number of supporters started to decrease Greenpeace pioneered the use of face-to-face fundraising where fundraisers actively seek new supporters at public places subscribing them for a monthly direct debit donation.9899 In 2008 most of the 202.5 million received by the organization was donated by about 2.6 million regular supporters mainly from Europe.5 In September 2003 the Public Interest Watch (PIW) complained to the Internal Revenue Service claiming that Greenpeace USA tax returns were inaccurate and in violation of the law.100 PIW charged that Greenpeace was using non-profit donations for advocacy instead of charity and educational purposes. PIW asked the IRS to investigate the complaint. Greenpeace rejected the accusations and challenged PIW to disclose its funders a request rejected by then-Executive Director of PIW Mike Hardiman because PIW does not have 501c3 tax exempt status like Greenpeace does in the U.S.101 The IRS conducted an extensive review and concluded in December 2005 that Greenpeace USA continued to qualify for its tax-exempt status. In March 2006 The Wall Street Journal reported that PIW had been funded by ExxonMobil prior to PIW's request to investigate Greenpeace.102 Ships Since Greenpeace was founded seagoing ships have played a vital role in its campaigns. Once the Rainbow Warrior III is completed (expected in 2011) the group will have three ocean-going ships The Esperanza Arctic Sunrise and Rainbow Warrior III.103 The first Rainbow Warrior See also: Sinking of the Rainbow Warrior In 1978 Greenpeace launched the original Rainbow Warrior a 40-metre (130 ft) former fishing trawler named for the Cree legend that inspired early activist Robert Hunter on the first voyage to Amchitka. Greenpeace purchased the Rainbow Warrior (originally launched as the Sir William Hardy in 1955) at a cost of 40000. Volunteers restored and refitted it over a period of four months. First deployed to disrupt the hunt of the Icelandic whaling fleet the Rainbow Warrior would quickly become a mainstay of Greenpeace campaigns. Between 1978 and 1985 crew members also engaged in direct action against the ocean-dumping of toxic and radioactive waste the Grey Seal hunt in Orkney and nuclear testing in the Pacific. Japan's Fisheries Agency has labeled Greenpeace ships as "anti-whaling vessels" and "environmental terrorists".104 In May 1985 the vessel was instrumental for 'Operation Exodus' the evacuation of about 300 Rongelap Atoll islanders whose home had been contaminated with nuclear fallout from a US nuclear test two decades ago which had never been cleaned up and was still having severe health effects on the locals.105 Later in 1985 the Rainbow Warrior was to lead a flotilla of protest vessels into the waters surrounding Moruroa atoll site of French nuclear testing. The sinking of the Rainbow Warrior occurred when the French government secretly bombed the ship in Auckland harbour on orders from Franois Mitterrand himself. This killed Dutch freelance photographer Fernando Pereira who thought it was safe to enter the boat to get his photographic material after a first small explosion but drowned as a result of a second larger explosion. The attack was a public relations disaster for France after it was quickly exposed by the New Zealand police. The French Government in 1987 agreed to pay New Zealand compensation of NZ$13 million and formally apologised for the bombing. The French Government also paid 2.3 million compensation to the family of the photographer. The second Rainbow Warrior Greenpeace's second Rainbow Warrior ship arrives in Bali for the 2007 UN climate conference. In 1989 Greenpeace commissioned a replacement vessel also named the Rainbow Warrior (also referred as Rainbow Warrior II) which remains in service today as the flagship of the Greenpeace fleet. In 2005 the Rainbow Warrior II ran aground on and damaged the Tubbataha Reef in the Philippines while inspecting the reef for coral bleaching. Greenpeace was fined US$7000 for damaging the reef and agreed to pay the fine saying they felt responsible for the damage although Greenpeace stated that the Philippines government had given it outdated charts. The park manager of Tubbataha appreciated the quick action Greenpeace took to assess the damage to the reef.106 Other vessels Greenpeace's ship MV Arctic Sunrise in the harbour of Helsinki. Along with the Rainbow Warriors Greenpeace has had several other ships in its service: MV Sirius MV Solo MV Greenpeace MV Arctic Sunrise and MV Esperanza the last two being in service today. Reactions and responses to Greenpeace activities Lawsuits have been filed against Greenpeace for lost profits107 reputation damage108 and "sailor mongering".109 In 2004 it was revealed that the Australian government was willing to offer a subsidy to Southern Pacific Petroleum on the condition that the oil company would take legal action against Greenpeace which had campaigned against the Stuart Oil Shale Project.110 Some corporations such as Royal Dutch Shell BP and lectricit de France have reacted to Greenpeace campaigns by spying on Greenpeace activities and infiltrating Greenpeace offices.111112 Greenpeace activists have also been targets of phone tapping death threats violence28 and even state terrorism in the case of bombing of the Rainbow Warrior.113114 Criticism Main article: Criticism of Greenpeace Early Greenpeace member Canadian Ecologist Patrick Moore left the organization in 1986 when it according to Moore decided to support a universal ban on chlorine 115 in drinking water.21 Moore has argued that Greenpeace today is motivated by politics rather than science and that none of his "fellow directors had any formal science education".21 Bruce Cox Director of Greenpeace Canada responded that Greenpeace has never demanded a universal chlorine ban and that Greenpeace does not oppose use of chlorine in drinking water or in pharmaceutical uses adding that "Mr. Moore is alone in his recollection of a fight over chlorine and/or use of science as his reason for leaving Greenpeace."116 Paul Watson an early member of Greenpeace has said that Moore "uses his status as a so-called co-founder of Greenpeace to give credibility to his accusations. I am also a co-founder of Greenpeace and I have known Patrick Moore for 35 years.... Moore makes accusations that have no basis in fact".117 A French journalist under the pen name Olivier Vermont wrote in his book La Face cache de Greenpeace ("The Hidden Face of Greenpeace") that he had joined Greenpeace France and had worked there as a secretary. According to Vermont he found misconduct and continued to find it from Amsterdam to the International office. Vermont said he found classified documents118 according to which half of the organization's 180 million revenue was used for the organization's salaries and structure. He also accused Greenpeace of having unofficial agreements with polluting companies where the companies paid Greenpeace to keep them from attacking the company's image.119 Animal protection magazine Animal People reported in March 1997 that Greenpeace France and Greenpeace International had sued Olivier Vermont and his publisher Albin Michel for issuing "defamatory statements untruths distortions of the facts and absurd allegations".120 See also Environment portal Netherlands portal European Renewable Energy Council Fund for Wild Nature Civil disobedience World Wide Fund for Nature References United Nations Department of Public Information Non-Governmental Organizationsdead link Background January 7 2010 (2010-01-07).
