Rainbow Warrior

Me and Em will be doing a video soon on an NGO (non-government agency) called Greenpeace. But for now I thought it was important to do a post on one of Greenpeace main projects, Rainbow warrior. The Rainbow Warrior is a ship devoted to confronting environmental crime. The U.S was doing atmospheric nuclear testing near the Marshall Islands in the Pacific ocean. The people of those island were exposed to a   bomb a thousand times more power full than Hiroshima.They experienced twenty-five years of health problems as a result,they asked their government and the U.S government to move them.When the Rainbow Warrior and its crew went to the Marshall islands they helped to move the people. Rainbow Warriors arrived in Auckland to protest against Nuclear testing in the ocean and were bombed.Near midnight on July,10th,1985 french agents planted two limpet mines( mines that can be used underwater and placed by divers) under the ship. A crew member named Fernado Pereira died in the sinking and the french admitted to planting the mines. The ship sunk as a result of the two limp mines and so the the Rainbow Warrior two was created.The Rainbow warrior two since then has been fighting for our environment for twenty-one years , but now must retire.
