How it unfolded.

The five-minute version

What actually happened.

Greenpeace Foundation is an environmental organization based in Hawaii. It was officially founded in 1976 as an independent offshoot of the Canadian Greenpeace Foundation and is the oldest 'Greenpeace' in the United States. When the original Vancouver-based Greenpeace Foundation agreed in 1979 to be represented in Greenpeace International the Hawaii-based Greenpeace Foundation joined them, but a schism in 1985 over wildlife campaign goals and fundraising ethics caused Greeneace Foundation to withdraw, and it remains an unaffiliated organisation doing business nationally and internationally.
