Why was greenpeace started and why?
To help fight against environment degradation, including the end of nuclear contamination. It was set up when in 1971 when a boat of volunteers and journalists sailed into north Alaska where the US government was doing underground nuclear tests.
Who was the founder of greenpeace Australia?
There is no one specific founder of Green Peace. The origins of Green Peace come from the "Don't Make a Wave Committee". The meetings of the committee were hosted by Dorothy and Irving Stowe. Other members of the committee were Marie and Jim Bohlen, Ben and Dorothy Metcalfe, and Bob Hunter. It's first directors were Stowe, Bohlen, and a student named Paul Cote.
Canadian ecologist Bill Darnell came up with the name "Green Peace" and, in order to fit the name on a button, Jim Bohlen's son Paul, made it "Greenpeace".

What do greenpeace believe in?
Greenpeace believes in saving all animals great and small
Answer:
It's difficult to say. They believe in saving aesthetically acceptable animals (e.g. they had no problem with eradicating the lamprey eel in the Great Lakes). They are against others harming people but risk the lives of their own staff and volunteers in their publicity stunts. They believe in keeping the environment tidy except in the areas where their volunteer's camp out during demonstrations.
How does greenpeace help people?
The world will benefit, we hope. The goals of Greenpeace are:
* Encouraging an energy revolution to prevent climate change * Defending the oceans by working against over-fishing * Protecting the rainforests and everything that depends on them * Working for peace and the abandonment of all nuclear weapons * Removing dangerous chemicals from all production lines * Encouraging farming that is socially and ecologically responsible
So, we, the oceans and their inhabitants, the rainforests and their inhabitants will all benefit whenever a person or an organization sets out to improve the world.

What kind of work do greenpeace do?
Greenpeace renders aid in more than 55 countries across Europe, the Americas, Asia, Africa and the Pacific.
I don't know for sure, but I was also sent an "offer" from the same company. I am very suspect of the offer for several reasons: 1) they spelled it Greenpace Recruitment (by accident or by design); 2) the recruiter's name is John Smith - way too generic; 3) bad grammar, misused words; and 4) they are asking for information that is already on my resume, which they had already "confirmed."

What year did the Greenpeace boat sink?
She was sunk on 10th July 1985 whilst docked in harbour at Auckland, New Zealand, whilst getting ready to monitor French nuclear testing on the Pacific island of Mururoa Atoll. A Portugese photographer, Fernando Pereira, was killed whilst trying to rescue his camera equipment. France later admitted that two of its secret service agents bombed the ship to stop it from it's monitoring work- they were put on trial and sentenced to 10 years in jail for manslaughter, but this was later reduced to two years in exile on a French prison-island. The ship herself was refloated for forensic examination, but deemed irrepairable and was deliberately sunk in shallow water on 12th December 1987 in Matauri Bay near the Cavalli Islands, to serve as a fish sanctuary and as a diver's exploration wreck. Her masts were removed and put on display at the Dargaville Maritime Museum; one of her propellors was also removed and incorporatd into the Rainbow Warrior Memorial on the Matauri Bay headland. Greenpeace's new ship, Rainbow Warrior III, was launched in mid-October 2011.
