Presentation: Greenpeace is an independent and not governmental organization which fights for the environmental protection. Established in 1971 in Canada, by Jim Bohlen and Irving Stowe after the movement « don’t Make a Wave Committee » which oppose to nuclear tests in the United States, Greenpeace is now the most important ecologist organization financed by her members to the world. Greenpeace is present in 42 countries and counts more than 3 million members in the world, among which 40 000 in Quebec.

The Cold War in Brief In the aftermath of the Second World War two power blocs formed in Europe, one dominated by America and capitalist democracy (though there were exceptions), the other dominated by the Soviet Union and communism. While these powers never directly fought, they waged a 'cold' war of economic, military and ideological rivalry which dominated the second half of the twentieth. Pre-World War Two The origins of the Cold War can be traced back to the Russian Revolution of 1917, which

France France developed a basic system based on the nuclear power which became a real culture because it allows ensuring all our energy needs. The delay of France in the field of the renewable energies is considerable. Hydraulic dams were set up but we didn’t get the expected effects. Central nuclear are "easy" to build but difficult to dismantle. By the way, there are extremely expensive. Consequently, the waste in uranium is "stored" in central nuclear but which do not any more ensure their main function:

Friends of the Earth International Friends of the Earth was founded in 1969 in the United States by David Brower after his split with the Sierra Club based in part on their reluctance to challenge the construction of nuclear power plants. It became an international network in 1971 with a meeting of representatives from the U.S., Sweden, the UK and France. For further historical details see articles on the national FOE organizations. Friends of the Earth International (FOEI) is an international
