Greenpeace

My name is Nathan Stellhorn and I am the Senior City Coordinator running the Greenpeace Frontline office located in Austin, Texas. I have wanted to contribute to the Greenpeace blogging community for some time now, but working in Frontline offices have not had much time to do so. I am very limited on time now, but wanted to briefly give Greenpeace members and visitors to the homepage a quick incite into the life of a Frontline organizer working with Greenpeace.

 First off I wanted to thank all of the great people living in the Austin area and around the country who have gotten involved with a Greenpeace Frontliner recently. Involvment within the community is the only way Greenpeace as an organization can possibly get any results. We have only had a presence in Austin for about 5 weeks and have really felt welcomed by the activist community here.

We hit the streets daily in 15 cities across the country. We speak with everyone who may pass by whether they are excited about the issues we are working on or they are completely against our solutions. We are out in 100 degree plus temperatures here in Austin or freezing sub zero temperature in Chicago winters. All of this to make an impact on issues we care about. Come say hello to a Frontliner we love to talk to people.

The issues that we are working towards solution with are so important! Protecting our oceans, stopping global warming, halting the destruction of what is left of our ancient forests. Immediate action is necessary and to be a part of a team of people hitting the streets daily to give the public an opportunity to get involved is amazing. Thank you to everyone involved! Maybe if I have time in the future i will blog up some funny stories about activism deep in the heart of Texas.
