Andy Parsons has been a member of Greenpeace since he was a teenager – one of the biggest environmental NGO’s, defending the natural world and promoting peace by investigating, exposing and confronting environmental abuse, and championing responsible solutions for our fragile environment. Greenpeace tackle problems from global warming to deforestation, raising awareness of these issues as they do so.

Andy has researched the effects of climate change on polar ecosystems, working in both the Arctic and Antarctic to see first hand some of the effects human activities are having. He has also done much campaigning since the 1980s motivated by social justice as we can’t have a socially just world without protecting our environment.
