Greenpeace

By John Willis, Dan McDermott, Joyce McLean
Most people know about Greenpeace ... but have you heard about the time they parachuted into the Darlington Nuclear Plant construction site, their first seal campaign, or the time when they tried to stop an US ship from anchoring in Vancouver on United Nations Disarmament Week?

Greenpeace was founded in Vancouver, British Columbia in 1971 and has been campaigning against environmental degradation ever since. In this story, our guests, Dan McDermott, John Willis and Joyce McLean, tell us colourful stories about their time at Greenpeace.
