Hey students,

Here is a great opportunity to become involved with the largest environmental organization in the world.

The Greenpeace Organizing Term is a semester of ACTION, TRAINING, & TRAVEL Students will live in the San Fransico or Washington D.C. area for the semester.

Get the skills to protect the planet… apply now at http://www.greenpeace.org/got

The Greenpeace Organizing Term is an action-filled semester and the best hands-on training for students to become environmental leaders. You’ll be making an investment in your leadership skills and training in grassroots organizing, media, direct action, and campaign strategy. You’ll travel abroad with Greenpeace and join a team of incredible activists working to protect the planet.

Many students are also able to receive class credit for the semester.

“I now understand what it means to be an organizer. I can now use all the amazing things I’ve learned to actually make a difference.” - Charis, University of North Carolina-Asheville, GOT Fall ‘04

ACTION
We give you hands-on experience with a real Greenpeace campaign. We have the best trainers come here to our DC headquarters or our new San Francisco office to provide all the skills you’ll need to hit the ground and work with a real Greenpeace campaign to implement what you’ve learned. You’ll put your organizing skills into action, play a critical role in organizing on-the-ground Greenpeace events, and make a real impact fighting to protect America’s last remaining forests, promoting clean energy and saving our world’s oceans. You’ll learn how to climb, drive Greenpeace boats, use advanced communication equipment and practice peaceful direct action.

TRAVEL
We travel abroad for a week to meet with international Greenpeace activists. During past trips, students have traveled to Greenpeace headquarters in Amsterdam, to Paris to take part in a 500-person peace symbol, and to Germany where they joined a 6,000-person march in to protest of nuclear waste shipments. We give people a few days to just relax and explore Europe as well.

TRAINING
We provide more than 50 cutting-edge training sessions in grassroots organizing, campaign skills, media strategy, and direct action. America’s top environmental leaders will train you in everything from recruiting volunteers and developing leaders to creating a campaign plan.

lilac Global warming is changing everyday and people still wont try to save enery or try to help the planet.look at all of the severe hurricanes mudslides tsunamis and other weather disasters

Any increase in natural disasters is simply evidence of a global climate shift...the kind which has happened numerous times in Earth's history. Humanity can't affect the planet to that extent. We're just a drop in the bucket.

Aww...Amp you're a real gentleman.

*cough*

Okay, that's all I had to say.

Ah pardon me then when I saw the "..." and the seperation between the paragraphs I took it to mean that the latter paragraph was your own thoughts and words

again beg your pardon on that

But I did not say it, I merely quoted from Tess Burrows, I cant quite cut out parts of a quote, even if i dont particularly agree with them myself. Yes I do realise there were floods and hurricanes millions of years ago.

Ampmaster you are smart, and I enjoy debating with you, but I do not enjoy how you pick up on completely irrelevant things.

quote:

Look at all the unusual stuff like droughts, floods, hurricanes and avalanches...

yeah... that's unusual as all hell. I mean it's only be going on for millenia untold...

As the brilliant Tess Burrows once said
"There is a state of inbalance due to the values of greed and power being more important than those of caring for other people and the environment, on which we all depend. The earth is crying out in need. Humanity has pushed her beyong whate her natural systems can recover from without huge pain to out species. Many people are aware that unless we stop taking now and start giving back, then the planet as we know it will not survive....

Already there're grumblings and rumblings with the shifts necessary to try and rebalance. Look at all the unusual stuff like droughts, floods, hurricanes and avalanches... Yes, there are areas of hope, but the more individuals who take on responsibility, even in a small way in their lives, and worth with the Earth not against her, the more chance there is of survival, this is the only way it will happen"

Which would be reaping the rainforest for reasources and not wanting all the ppl to die so animals can take over like greenpeace wants. Taking the resources we need is for the benefit of mankind.

Well what I think Greenpeace is trying to do is prevent people from abusing the resources. There are many people who take for the sake of taking and they could care less of the consequences. It's not that they would want for animals to take over. There just has to be a balance and we need to find it.

One, thanks for not quoting me, and two, how does that indicate hatred of humanity?

Prove to me it wasn't random and I might take you seriously. Oh wait, you can't prove it. Guess I'll never take you seriously.

It's all about proof, now isn't it? You get nowhere with unsubstantiated statements like "teh urth wuz maid 4 hoomans LOLOL!!!1!"

Come again? I didn't understand your statement. Please rephrase it.

quote:

Dude if you hate humanity so much than kill yourself and get it overwith otherwise shut it.

Are you talking to me? When did I mention I hated humanity? When did I ever make a reference to that? When, Knight? I need you to prove to me that I have amnesia and forgot my supposed hatred of humanity! Help me, Knight; you're my only hope!

Or not. Pulling things out of your ass is something only Mr. Potato Head is allowed to do.

quote:

Humans are the reason the world is here we are the only sentients on this planet and perhaps the only anywhere I would call this planet ours.

Great, we own the planet. You can think that all you want and I won't argue the point. But that doesn't mean Earth was created only for us. It was created due to gravity fluctuations caused by the dense amount of matter in the nebula that would become our solar system. The matter clumped together, forming planets, and later bringing forth life through yet more random circumstances, eventually leading to humans. There was no reason for this; it just happened.

I think everyone gets into that save the whales shit at least once in their lives. The true victims are the people who never grow out of it. *Sighs* I already went through mine at the age of 10.
