20 years on the doorstep
Article Abstract:
Personal contact and door-to-door campaigning are the basic principles followed by Greenpeace in its environmental protection activities and fund raising. Greenpeace activists meet people, gather petition signatures, distribute educational materials, and collect needed funds for the organization. Greenpeace relies totally on public support. Although the activists face insults and refusals in their profession, they enjoy the acts of kindness and generosity. Some of the strange excuses that the activists received from different people are described.

Victory by the bay
Article Abstract:
The local community, taking support from Greenpeace, succeeded in defeating the proposal for a 240 megawatt natural gas cogeneration power plant at Bayview-Hunters Point, San Francisco. A Greenpeace campaigner helped the residents form Southeast Alliance for Environmental Justice, and conducted outreach campaign in schools, churches and houses. Greenpeace convinced the public and government about the criminal and unethical activities of the company that came up with the proposal and the health hazards already existing in the region.

Bayview-Hunter's Point saying no to toxic energy
Article Abstract:
Greenpeace activists and local residents of the Bayview-Hunter's Point area of San Francisco, CA, are protesting the construction of a new 240-megawatt gas cogeneration power plant and the contaminants it would emit. The neighborhood, with its largely-minority population, is already the location for two Superfund sites, toxic 'hot spots,' a wastewater treatment plant, and two obsolete power plants, which the new gas cogeneration plant is designed to replace.
