 Greenpeace USA 

Greenpeace USA is an environmental advocacy group that seeks to expose problems dealing with the environment and develop new solutions for solving them. Its main purpose is to preserve marine life with emphasis on nonviolent protest. Originally, Greenpeace was established to end nuclear weapons testing while also preserving marine life. Some of the primary issues that Greenpeace is currently working on include finding alternative sources of energy instead of fossil fuels. According to a report published by the environmental group, "the transition towards 100% renewable energy had to be well underway by 2020 in order to mitigate the worst effects of climate change." There are also benefits that come with being apart of Greenpeace. One includes being involved within the community in order to better contribute to a sustainable environment. Another is the ability to connect with like-minded people who are looking to make the environment more green is a positive.
