Hey Kathleen, this is David. |
Back in 2018, I jokingly tweeted at Greenpeace asking them to send me to Antarctica so I could do the Hopper dance with the penguins — and a few weeks and more than 200,000 retweets later, I embarked on what would become one of the most humbling experiences of my life. |
I'm writing to you on behalf of Greenpeace USA and the extraordinary work they do for our oceans. |
I'm in your inbox today asking you to make a holiday gift that can go THREE TIMES AS FAR towards protecting both our planet and our people, because a group of generous donors are 3X matching every donation up to a total of $325,000. |

I hopped aboard the Arctic Sunrise for a portion of the ship's three-month journey to conduct research and campaign for the creation of a vast Antarctic Ocean Sanctuary to protect penguins, whales, and seals. At 1.8 million square kilometers, five times the size of Germany, this would be one of the biggest protected areas on Earth. |
I took a brief video doing the silly dance with a colony of Gentoo penguins behind me. And as I spent more time among them, I came to understand more and more about the majesty of the frosty, pristine ecosystem. |
I want to see penguins, krill, and whales protected from human destruction. I want to ensure that their Antarctic homes remain as pristine as they were on that cold winter day. |
The thought of corporate interests and industrial fishing coming in and tapping its natural resources is heartbreaking. If we're going to keep our planet in its natural balance, we NEED to preserve these primal ecosystems. It's our responsibility. |
That's why I'm asking you to stand with me and Greenpeace USA — even from your couch, you can still help us make a tangible difference for the penguins' endangered Antarctic home. |
And this holiday season, generous donors are 3X MATCHING EVERY DOLLAR up to a total of $325,000. That means your donation today can have TRIPLE the impact on the powerful work this movement does every single day in the fight for our planet and the homes of every creature living on it. |
Kathleen, you can take action right now that makes TRIPLE the difference in protecting our home. So please, join us in the fight against the climate crisis with a donation before this opportunity — and 2022 — expires. |
|
I hope you'll join me and Greenpeace USA in the fight for all of our homes – including the 'guins. Thank you. |
