"From my early twenties I saw Greenpeace to be a unique environmental organisation as Greenpeace only accepts donations from individuals. Greenpeace accepts no donations  from powerful business interests or from governments. Few people, other than Greenpeace supporters, appear to realise how this unique feature differentiates Greenpeace from other worthy environmental groups."

"If you value your children and grandchildren and the natural world as much as you value yourself, you can easily gift an amount or a percentage of your estate in your will to Greenpeace. Thus your legacy will benefit your young grandchildren, those generations that will follow them and the world's plant and animal species, since none of these people who are dear to you as well as the world's other species have a vote in their future. Changing your will in this way is a very easy step to take to ensure a more sustainable future world."

"My decision to include Greenpeace in my will is a very personal one. My late mother was a pretty strident opponent of so-called “scientific whaling” and my recently passed brother donated regularly to Greenpeace to support their work in protecting the Great Barrier Reef. It is in their names that I took over my brother’s monthly donations and then made provision for Greenpeace in my will."

"As I watch with ever growing alarm at what we are doing to our wonderful planet and see pristine environments disappear along with the biodiversity of plant and animal life, I have to believe that as individuals we just have to make an effort to support organisations like Greenpeace. We cannot do it alone but collectively we can make a difference. That is my hope."

“I have vivid memories of completing a school project at age 10 on environmental threats and using Greenpeace as a source of information and inspiration. Some of these battles have been won which gives me great courage about the fight to address climate change that we have on our hands right now.”

“While I have children that need to be a focus in my will, I think it’s important to think more broadly about the legacy I’m leaving behind. Greenpeace perfectly aligns with my values and what is important to me and my family.  I am happy that Greenpeace is now reflected in my will.”

"During the gift that is this life, I have been awed at the majesty and beauty of landscapes, trees, oceans and sea shores; marvelled at the variety and wonder of all the companion creatures who I have had the privilege to observe; and, over time, become aware, that our fellow creatures, especially mammals, share very much of the feelings and the needs that we, as humans, do."

"So, when my time is up, with part of what I have been lucky enough to “own”, I wanted to contribute toward the conservation of our beautiful planet, now so badly hurting in so many ways as a result of insensitivity and greed of human actions, and to contribute toward the protection and survival of many of our fellow creatures who have now been pushed to the brink of extinction. I dearly hope that my small contribution may avert extinction of all and any, and that these unique companions may remain in our company and on this planet.  I am part of this planet:  when I see her hurt, I feel her pain:  I am often literally moved to tears to see what is happening to her."

"I decided to get involved with Greenpeace after I started meeting people who were working there and they talked about how much they loved it and the brilliant campaigns they were working on – like REenergise which got over 20 of Australia’s biggest companies to switch to 100% renewable electricity by 2025."

"As a Greenpeace staff member, the brilliant people I work alongside inspired my decision to leave a gift in my will. The passionate volunteers and staff who work tirelessly to stand up to powerful interests in industry and government to protect the environment. These wonderful people are not just passionate, they are fiercely independent, humble and full of heart."

"I’m still fairly young, so this was my first will and I was surprised how easy it was! I don’t have much to gift yet, but we just bought our first home and it seemed like a good idea to just get something down on paper."
