GREENPEACE International

Well,I was walking out of my bank yesterday after noon.i was stopped my some college students who were in to some compaign.I came to know that the guys name is R Ramesh a MSW Student. he said he is a volunteer of GREENPEACE. As i was quite busy i told him to hand over any palmplets if any. When i reached home , i slowly started reading the news material , I came to know that GREENPEACE is an Organisation working on Global Warming.

After reading the same , i decided i need to do something. This blog is for them.As usual 100's of people will know about GREENPEACE through this blog.

I came to know that this organisation is working for more than two decades globally and six years in India.

G Ananthapadmanabhan is the Executive Director, Greenpeace India.

I found few quotes which are really touching, here we go.
