About Greenpeace:
Driven by a dynamic and growing street canvass, Greenpeace in the U.S. has doubled in staff and funding over the past five years, growing to 23 offices throughout the United States. This surge has enabled the organization, in the past year, to shut Vermont's nuclear plant; convince 12 major grocery chains to phase out red-listed fish; convince Kimberley Clark, Nike, Timberland, and other companies to stop
driving global deforestation; pass a toxics law through the U.S. House; and beat back attempts to weaken the EPA's authority to regulate carbon pollution. For more information about Greenpeace USA, visit www.greenpeace.org.
