I hope to see Greenpeace campaigning more on energy-saving and providing achievable solutions for the next generation. Happy Birthday to Greenpeace and to a clean and healthy planet for everyone! ”

Greenpeace, please keep fighting for a beautiful and healthy world! ” Chan King Ki Kimmy

I am very impressed with how Greenpeace campaigns for food safety and against pollution by big companies. I hope Greenpeace will bring us more achievements. We will support you and be by your side always. ” Fu Ling

Ruby Ng

I hope Greenpeace can educate the public to be more concerned about our living environment and its limited resources. If not, we will need to pay the price one day. We need to work hand-in-hand to protect the world before it’s too late. I hope Greenpeace will have the capability and the power to make all nations listen and that we will all work together as one. ”

Ng Suk Ping April

I love how Greenpeace dares to challenge authorities on green issues. Please keep independent and unbiased. ”
