How many? Heaps.
Rarely can Greenpeace win campaigns alone. It’s the power of acting together that creates positive change. Our power often lies in our ability to act as a catalyst in mobilising others. Without the support of thousands of passionate people who share our vision for a greener world, we could not achieve important changes.
