“GREENPEACE

In 1969 Jim Bohlen, Paul Coté and Irving Stowe founded the “Don't Make a Wave Committee” – changing its name a year later to the Greenpeace Foundation. Now an international environmental organization centered in Amsterdam, it opposes nuclear tests, wildlife destruction and environmental pollution.”
