Greenpeace general facts.
Greenpeace is a non-governmental organization which was found in 1971 by Kumi Naidoo who is an executive director and Lalita Ramdas who is a chairman. Greenpeace has about 2.86 million members in 41 different countrys and its main office is located in Amsterdam.
Origin .
The founders of Greenpeace believed a few individuals could make a difference which motivated them to stop USA’s underground nuclear testing and that was the first time they did something good for environment and they wanted to keep doing that.
Objectives
1 Greenpeace is perhaps best known for its campaigns to protect whales and other large aquatic animals from hunters and trappers. Greenpeace programs target multiple areas of ocean defense, centering primarily on pollution and unfair or abusive fishing practices.
2 Many electronics and other products contain toxic chemicals and heavy metals that are difficult to dispose of and impossible to recycle. Greenpeace studies the effects of these chemicals on water, air and the human body and advocates substituting safer alternatives for dangerous materials.
3 Logging and clear -cutting of ancient forests drive species of plants and animals toward extinction and threaten the lives of people whose survival depends on the forest 's resources. Greenpeace protects forests by educating the public about the origin of tropical woods , holding governments accountable for clear-cutting and even by camping in trees to stave off loggers.
4 The world maintains an armory of 30,000 nuclear weapons, and several countries actively pursue the technology to develop even more. Greenpeace's first mission protested nuclear testing, and the organization continues doing it.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMS

ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMS Our environment is constantly changing. However, as our environment changes, so does the need to become increasingly aware of the problems that surround it. With a massive influx of natural disasters people need to be aware of what types of environmental problems our planet is facing. Current environmental problems make us vulnerable to disasters and tragedies, now and in the future. Unless we address the various issues seriously we are surely doomed for disaster. Current environmental problems require urgent attention. 1. Pollution: Pollution of air, water and soil require millions of years to recoup. Industry and motor vehicle exhaust are the number one pollutants. Heavy metals, nitrates and plastic are toxins responsible for pollution. While water pollution is caused by oil spill, acid rain, urban runoff; air pollution is caused by various gases and toxins released by industries and factories and burning of fossil

Essay on water pollution, global warming, acid rain, deforestation, intensive farming

Water pollution Attention for water pollution exploded in the 1980s. The oil spill of the Exxon Valdez showed many around the world just how horrible the effects of water pollution could be. However, even the Exxon Valdez spill barely touched the surface of the problem of water pollution. The ship spilt only 5% of the oil spilt that year, and oil is just one of many pollutants that people dump into the water every year. Every year, 14 billions pounds of sewage, sludge, and garbage are dumped into the world's oceans. 19 trillion gallons of waste also enter the water annually. The problem of ocean pollution affects every nation around the world. This is especially true because water is able to transport pollution from one location to another. For many years, chemicals were dumped into bodies of water without concern. While many countries have now banned such behavior, it continues to go on today. As the world has industrialized and its population has grown, the problem of water poll

Public International Law is a system of law

PIL has its own specific system of international responsibility. You don't have international police if your rights are violated and the jurisdiction of courts is not as strong. Courts have jurisdiction only if all parties of the conflict agree to it. Elements of state/international responsibility: Attribution of conduct to the state If the state's person acts on official capacity or not; e.g. if a private person blows up a Greenpeace boat then the person is responsible, if for example agents blow up a boat because they're given orders from officials, then the state is responsible. Criminal responsibility (killing the crew member, agents are imprisoned)* Breach of an international obligation of the state France is responsible in front of New Zealand, because states are the subjects of international law and it blew up the boat in the New Zealand waters.

Education

Education Education is so multifaceted that it is difficult for me to know where to begin discussing it, or how to prioritize the many factors. Relaying my own experience is easy: I had a standard classroom approach, supplemented by inordinate reading. In only the briefest and least memorable instances did I receive any individual tutoring. Education is commonly thought of as the job of schools. Adults cry "educate our children!" Everyone has opinions about the best way to do the job. It is of urgent importance, and all the numerous factors are much studied, debated, and new (or old) ideas continually tested or retested. Some people say "it's as simple as . . . " and then name their pet peeve or passion. My view is not of an education specialist, but of one who loves sharing what I learn, and owes much to educators. Since I don't have an educational theory neatly worked-out, nor an outline of my perceptions, my intent is to address each educational ingredient that comes to my m
