from ''DON'T MAKE A WAVE COMMITEE'' to ''GREENPEACE''

    When it was established in 1970, the purpose of that committee was to stop the second nuclear weapon test. Founders of the committee were Dorothy and Irving Stowe, Marie and Jim Bohlen, Ben and Dorothy Metcalfe and Bob Hunter. Its first managers were Stowe, Bohlen and a student named Paul Cote.

    Bill Darnell, a Canadian ecologist, found a name defining committee's movement aganist nuclear weapon and concerns about planet's future. As they were leaving after the meeting, someone raised two fingers and said ''Peace!'' and Bill said ''Let's make it Green Peace.''. Jim Bohlen's son having trouble with making the two words fit on a lapel button linked them together as new name of the committee: ''GREENPEACE'' ...

     Greenpeace exists because this fragile earth deserves a voice. It needs solutions. It needs change. It needs action.

    Greenpeace is an organization which devotes itself to protect and conserve the environment and to promote peace. Greennpeace is present in 40 countries with national or regional offices in Europe, America, Asia, Africa and Pacific. Greenpeace organizes activities which are based on ''scientific datas''. 

    Peaceful protests which are staged to bear witness environmental crimes and to pressure on offenders by attracting attention of public opinion are only 'shopwindow' of analyses, reports, all works including discussions with officials.

    Greenpeace is one of the few organizations about environment suggesting plans and making them accept and influencing international agreements.
