Now’s the time to make your new year’s resolution for the environment

Make YOUR commitment to a green and peaceful future!

We were sad to see that you weren't able to take advantage of our year-end matching gift opportunity, but we hope you have not given up on the fight. In the nearly half a century that Greenpeace has been fighting for environmental protection, we have never seen a White House that posed as big a threat to the environment — and the health and safety of people all over the country — as the current one does.

Since becoming president, Donald Trump has reviewed, rolled back, or repealed regulations with potentially disastrous consequences:

  • Opening oil and gas drilling in areas of the Arctic, Pacific, and Atlantic Oceans;
  • Dismantling the Clean Water Act protections for more waterways;
  • Allowing more mining waste to be dumped into lakes and rivers;
  • Weaken automobile emissions requirements;
  • Lifting a moratorium on coal leases on federal lands;
  • Ending protections for endangered whales and sea turtles from becoming entangled in fishing nets;
  • Stopping the tracking of federal government's carbon emissions;
  • Leaving the country less prepared for climate change's worst impacts.

The good news is that people are coming together like never before. And I would like to count you among those who are fighting back.

Now more than ever, all of us who are in favor of clean water and marine wildlife and politicians working for the people who elected them rather than the corporations that pay them … all of us who are opposed to global warming and rising ocean levels and oil spills … all of us must join in the fight if we're going to have a chance of winning.

Please make your first gift to Greenpeace an enduring gift by becoming a monthly donor today. Monthly gifts are a steady resource we can count on at a moment's notice. We rely on this unwavering support to fund the many battles we have to fight.

Many of our monthly members choose to give in small increments. A gift of even $8 a month is invaluable in defeating Trump and protecting the environment agenda.

This is a long, ongoing battle. I hope you'll step up and join us as a monthly donor today to help create a green and peaceful 2018.

Thanks for all you do,

Jesse Boateng
Engagement Director, Greenpeace USA

P.S. It's not just Trump. Congress is giving public lands away to oil companies, and corporations are destroying whole ecosystems in order to increase their already obscene profits. This is why we want you by our side, day in and day out. Please become a monthly member now.

Greenpeace never takes a dime from corporations or governments. Everything we do is thanks to the generous support of people like you!
