Greenpeace

My mother has dementia and has fallen into the trap of being on the "sucker list" of thousands of charities. She has been giving ever-increasing amounts of money to an ever-growing list of these charities. Starting in May of 2021, we have been contacting these charities and asking them to cease and desist from sending my mother these mailing begging for more and more money. Most of the charities have ceased these mailings, but a few are absolutely relentless.

Greenpeace is among the worst of these offenders. I have been writing to these vile people for over 2 years, telling them to STOP these mailings. They ignore everything, and keep regularly sending my mother more crap, in hopes of squeezing more money out of her. People who prey on the elderly and disabled are the very worst kinds of people.

Greenpeace has been one of the most aggressive and egregious of the charities pursuing my mother for larger and larger donations. I sent then a letter and an email in May, 2021, explaining the situation and asking them to stop the mailings. Most of the more responsible charities responded positively, and agreed to stop the mailings. Not these people - they completely ignored both my letter and my email, and they continued to send regular begging mailings, usually asking for ever-larger amounts, as well as asking her to put them in her will.

As a son with a POA, looking out for my mother's welfare, I intercept most of the mailings these people send to my mother. All of it gets mailed back to them, telling them yet again to stop the mailings. All of gets ignored, and the mailings still continue unabated over two years later.

They tell you they are just gonna do a one time donation from your bank account. But just continue to draft money from your bank for months.

The base site for Greenpeace International – from here you can click down to all the various national sites and see what the eco-warriors are campaigning for in your neck of the woods. Committed green issue activists, Greenpeace have proven themselves to be considerable pains in the rear to governments, defence industries, nuclear power generators, big business, property developers, land grabbers and sea polluters among others. Surely that's a good thing?

They have often taken action at great risks to themselves. In 1985 they pissed off the French government to the point that it sent an assassination team to New Zealand and sank their ship, the Rainbow Warrior, killing the photographer Fernando Pereira.

You might not agree with Greenpeace on all their campaigns, but you have to give them kudos for fighting the good fight on behalf of the bulk of the population of the planet who can't or won't get off their backsides to do anything about preserving the world for everyone else.
