My thoughts and comparisons
I think that both of the organizations are doing wonderful work all around the world. They both work to protect the nature and animals. I love animals, and are so happy that someone are trying to make the world a better place for them, and the nature are a big part of that. If the nature are destroyed, both humans and animals will suffer. I think that more people should become aware of what we are doing to our planet, think about the global warming we are creates. It's sad to see how many people dont care about the planets future, and are indifferent.


- Both of the organizations as I mention over, are working to save the nature, oceans, and animals.
- WWF have been 10 years longer than Greenpeace, but Greenpeace is the biggest envioronment organization in the world.
- Greenpeace have a studentprogram to teach "greenleaders"
