Mr. Weyler talked about his book Greenpeace: How a Group of Ecologists, Journalists, and Visionaries Changed the World, published by Rodale. He is an author, ecologist, and co-founder of Greenpeace International. He described the rise of the organization that began as a loose-knit band of Canadian ecologists intent on stopping the pollution of air, oceans, and the environment. He also explained how Greenpeace became a pacifist group because of nuclear tests during the 1950s, saying that ecology and war continue to be linked today, as in oil and the Iraq War. After his presentation Mr. Weyler answered audience members' questions. close
