Where I live, greenpeace is not considered a charity! It's because they are politically active. How the heck else are they supposed to get results? Go greenpeace!
The problem with with greenpeace is that you have to judge each campaign separately. Some of it is ok but a lot of it is not and most importantly they often get the science wrong in order to scare people and promote themselves.
If I like what I see, I'll receive 5 more issues (6 in all) for just $19.95. If I'm not completely satisfied, I'll simply write "cancel" on the invoice and owe nothing. The free issue is mine to keep.
