Greenpeace is an international organization that works for better environmental conservation and the preservation of endangered species, and they are striving to put an end to global warming by the human race. Global warming is a natural process; however because of the rate humans are pouring pollutants into the air, the warming is highly exhilarated.

According to Greenpeace ( 2010 ), “With current technology, renewable energy sources like wind, solar, and geothermal can provide 96% of our total heating demand – accounting for almost all of our primary energy demand.” (The Solutions, para. 1 2010). By putting these resources to work preservation of our planet for future generations is the most advantageous reason for making these changes.

We have more natural disasters than before due to the climate changes. Food and water will gradually become scarce if we do not act immediately. Greenpeace has started the Energy Revolution which is a plan to do away with the use of coal, oil and nuclear energy for the worlds demand for energy. They are advocating for Climate Legislation by pressuring Congress and the President of the United States. Greenpeace is also working with the Environmental Protection
