Definition
An international environmental organization founded in 1971, known for direct action campaigns to protect the environment and promote peace.
Etymology
Compound word combining 'green' (symbolizing environmental concern) with 'peace' (representing non-violent activism). The name was chosen to reflect the organization's dual mission of environmental protection and opposition to nuclear testing.
Kelly Says
The name brilliantly combines two powerful concepts that weren't traditionally linked - environmental protection and peace activism. This fusion helped create the modern environmental movement by framing ecological destruction as a form of violence against the planet and future generations.
