Greenpeace is a non-profit organisation dedicated to improving and preserving the environment and the ecology of planet earth. In this task, it is helped by its thousands of members and volunteers. Most of its funding comes through donations from its supporters, but in this matter, the organisation is very strict about not accepting any donations from any organisations, governments or political parties. Greenpeace has a fleet of ships to support it in its work. Greenpeace raises its voice against a lot of policies and actions that it feels will harm the environment. The issues Greenpeace deals with range from 'stop wars' to 'save the seas'. Greenpeace opposes any interest, whether a private or public business, an organisation or a group of individuals, which undertake a policy or a project that is harmful to the environment. Greenpeace activists ensure that all their campaigns get a lot of media coverage and publicity, and its activists are well-known for their publicity stunts. This generates negative publicity for the concerned business organisation or government and generally forces it to withdraw its harmful policies and projects. In recent years, Greenpeace has got a lot of criticism for having too narrow a vision as regards new scientific developments. It has also been accused of caring more for the publicity and less for the issue itself. Greenpeace has tried to remodel itself and to evolve as a more responsible environment conscious organisation.
