Greenpeace is a lot more moderate than many environmental organizations out there.
Im not disputing your point but Im just wondering that if a lot of them pride themselves on their anti-hippie stance then why does Greenpeace always just show a radical side to the public? Whenever I hear of Greenpeace on the news its always because they've done something thats usually over the top to try and get a point across. The original post about the billboard is probably the Calmest thing I've ever heard of them trying to do.

I assume that being radical is the best way to get on the news but to me when its way over the top it usually paints a negative picture for Greenpeace in many people's eyes as well.
