What Else Can We Do?

For anyone that still wants to help the environment without giving all of their money to Greenpeace, here are a few things you can do to make your community and environment a better place. Most of the things you can do involve a little bit of work or even just a small change in your daily habits rather than spending a bunch of money.

1. Recycle.
2. Switch off lights and electronics when not in use.
3. Plant trees.
4. Invest in solar panels to power your home (this can save money too.)
5. When you see trash on the ground, pick it up and throw it away
6. Fix any water leaks in your house.
7. Use ceiling fans instead of air conditioning when possible.
8. Switch up the transportation. Use the bus every once in a while and ride your bike when you are going somewhere close.
9. Plant native plants in your garden or yard.
10. Volunteer in your community.

If you want to take a more radical approach and use Greenpeace's tactics against them, you can do something the organization CFACT did. They made banners reading "Propaganda Warrior" and "Ship of Lies" and unfurled them on Greenpeace's own ships while distracting the crew with donuts.
