Greenpeace is the largest nonprofit environmental organization in the world. It uses nonviolent protest to obstruct environmentally unfriendly practices in numerous industries, including nuclear testing, genetic engineering, and whaling, among others.

Greenpeace began as an initiative to protest nuclear weapons testing programs in Alaska and the South Pacific. They sailed boats into the regions and disrupted the tests with their presence. Greenpeace would continue to employ this technique, most famously in the 70s in their opposition to the whaling industry.
