Feeling sorry about greenpeace.

I don't yet fully understand how NGOs work. Yet, I expect some things from them. I had been and online e-mail subscriber of Greenpeace for a few years now. I get mail about signing petitions. Most of them I agree with but other times I don't (GMOs, for example). 

Today I got a mail about helping to free the volunteers arrested by Russians. I did send the readily written mail to Russian ambassador, but wait there was more to it. I needed to select one twitter millionare so that "I" could approach them via some e-communication to tweet for the same cause. Why the hell would I need to do that. One message from Greenpeace must suffice. Or is there something fishy (read corporate interests) involved. It was really saddening.


I would like to ask the people who work for such organizations:

• Do you use cars?
• Do you sit in A.C.offices?
• Do you meetings involve playing of music on good kind of speakers? See  its wattage please.
• Are you really minimizing the environment damage yourself?

Oh, don't talk about your "need" for such luxuries. All, the people in world deserve what you think you deserve. And as it is obvious, we can't achieve this without affecting the environment. We have two clear choices, serving humanity or the environment. "Sustainable development" seems pretty word but then you have to give away your "needs".
