40 years of Greenpeace

15 September 2011

Today we celebrate 40 years of campaigning, commitment and victories. But when we are born with that action game September 15, 1971, it spun smoothly. Our founders Phyllis Cormack sailed on the vessel at a time of Amchitka, in the North Pacific to protest against an impending U.S. underground nuclear test. After days of sailing, including internal discussions and rough seas, they lost the compass ... and were intercepted and stopped by the Coast Guard. Failed to stop the test and the bomb exploded on November 6. But it was the last: the heroic attempt of that small group of activists who founded Greenpeace, conquered the front pages of American newspapers, and from then on Amchitka was never used for nuclear testing.
