Question for the Americans out there

[starrylizard]

So, over here we have organisations, like Greenpeace (Greenies), who are all about protecting the animals and old growth forest etc. and they go out and protest and run little boats in the way of whaling ships and tie themselves to trees that are about to be logged etc.

What would be the equivalent group in America? Anyone?

We have a few, actually.

We have a Greenpeace, too. And the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Um, who else...PETA is an animal-rights organization, very, um, strong-minded. I think they're against the keeping of animals as pets. Not sure what it stands for, something Equal Treatment of Animals I think...

I think that's the big ones...

I don't think the EPA counts. At this point, they're more of a rubber stamp for the Bush administration's polluting cronies. :-(

I'll go with Greenpeace, or greenie. Not mentioning names really, just checking for a story. Thanks Doc! :)
