Happy New Year from greenpeace
United States — We have a New Year’s resolution we’d like to share with you. We resolve to do everything in our power to make the world a better place. We resolve to shake things up, to hold politicians accountable on global warming, and to push corporations to go green. We’ll spend 2008 being a thorn in the side of those who profit from destroying the planet.But no matter how tenacious we are, we can’t do any of these things without our supporters.With support last year, Greenpeace:
* Cooked up a greener Apple in just 9 months by successfully pressuring computer company Apple to remove hazardous materials from its products.
* Motivated the entire electronics industry to reach for greener standards.
* Prodded more than a half-dozen Members of Congress to co-sponsor the best legislation in Congress to combat global warming.
* Pushed Congress to divert hazardous rail cargo away from major cities.
* Encouraged Target, Kmart, and Sears to remove toxic PVC plastics from their products and packaging.
* Stopped Japan from winning the majority vote at the International Whaling Commission.It’s been a significant year for progress on the environment, and we know that many of our supporter’s efforts will lead to even greater victories in the year ahead. With help, Greenpeace will continue to have the strength to tackle some of the world’s greatest threats for another year.Nuclear power, corporate muscle, political lobbyists, and greed – none have the strength to overcome our strong base of supporters. Not when you have passion, truth, and strength in numbers.So we wish you a Happy New Year, we wish you peace, and we wish you the strength to keep up the good fight.
