From the first days of its existence, and so far they are guided by certain principles :
1 ) Independence
Greenpeace exists only on donations from individuals and private charities , not taking
money from the public , businesses and political parties.
2) non-violent
Greenpeace does not accept any form of violence as a method of achieving the goals . All
shares - an expression of peaceful protest , even if those actions appear mixed. Never
respond to aggression by the same , even when faced with intimidation or threat.
3) The protest action
Believes in the protest, which brings results . Believes that the shares will inspire people
and organizations to change their attitude towards nature . This is not the only , but
probably the most sensible way to draw attention to the environmental issue and make
necessary changes .
4) Together we - force

24. 
Some of the achievements of Greenpeace
Russia

The development of a federal program for
energy efficiency.

After years of public campaign Dutch
company URENCO stopped import of
waste uranium industry in Russia .

The Russian Government has committed
itself to implement during the 2014
Olympics the principle of " zero waste ."
According to these obligations , all the
garbage generated during the construction
and operation of the Olympic venues , will
be sent for recycling and reuse. This
principle also promised extended to the
whole territory of the city of Sochi .

Approved boundaries of the Baikal natural
territory

Created Kalevala National Park - it was the
result of hard work of eleven , take many
forms - from negotiating with official
bodies to conduct field research and
international environmental camps.

25. 

Now one of the important tasks before
Greenpeace persuaded to reconsider the
Russian energy strategy of Russia , to
cancel the construction of floating
nuclear power station in Kamchatka.
This earthquake-prone region . Tsunami
in the area of location of the station can
​
reach 4 meters.
The whole world has seen the effects of
radiation on the example of the tragedy
of the accident at the plant "Fukushima1". Reactor cooling system can fail and
without any tsunami. In the last 7 years
at Russian nuclear power plants
annually emergency protection works
about 10 times , and the reactors are
jammed . On the revision of energy
policy in favor of alternative energy
have already announced Germany ,
Venezuela , Thailand, Israel , Peru ,
Switzerland. Greenpeace calls to follow
the example of these countries and to
revise the Russian energy strategy in
favor of renewable energy sources.

26. criticism
Greenpeace often caught and prosecuted for fabricating evidence allegedly
showing about harming the environment. In this regard we can recall the
following points:
• deliberate torture seal the camera in 1979;?
• fee for West African fishermen catching contaminated fish;?
• Preview of clean sand as radioactively contaminated in 1996?
• fee teenagers from Seattle for $ 5 each for ensuring that they protested in front
of the camera against the sale of Icelandic fish in 1999.

27. Sierra Club (The Sierra Club) was organized in 1892 to
preserve and protect the remaining places in America
untouched wilderness. Today, the Sierra Club is one of
the most influential non-governmental environmental
organizations in the U.S., which has a membership of
more
500,000 members.

28. Original «Rainbow Warrior» was built as a trawler in 1955 by MAFF and belonged to Sir William
Hardy. Greenpeace bought for 40,000 pounds renovating and April 29, 1978 received the name
«Rainbow Warrior». This title is borrowed from the prophecy Alaska North American continent ,
which states verbatim : "In the days when the world is sick and near death , the people will rise
up like Warriors of the rainbow ."

whale hunting and nuclear tests.
