#greenpeaceday
This day, there is a day of protest in the name of the environment. The day honors a nonviolent movement for change to improve air quality, reduce reliance on fossil fuels, use of plastics, and water quality. Environmental justice is also concerned with conservation and preservation.
Greenpeace, founded in 1971 by 17 activists who were protesting nuclear testing off the shores of Alaska, now has a worldwide presence. Their campaigns continue to promote and protect the Earth, despite taking on environmental issues and raising concerns.

History of greenpeace day has a long tradition
On September 15, 1971, when 17 activists set sail on the Phyllis Cormack, 17 protesters established Greenpeace. They had hoped to prevent the nuclear testing that was about to take place off the shores of Alaska's coasts. Although the testing concluded, the demonstration set in motion a movement that is still growing today. Gregor Robertson proclaimed Greenpeace Day in 2011 in honor of Greenpeace, Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson.
