GREENPEACE MAKES A DIFFERENCE
The first question on tonight’s show will be whether Greenpeace actually makes a difference or causes more problems. Should Guam invite Greenpeace to address some of our more pressing problems? What are those problems and who should address them. Tonight we would like to invite you the residence of Guam and our listening audience to answer that question. One issue we definitely would like to address is the Dump and dumping all over the world. Greenpeace has taken a stand against toxins and irresponsible disposal of waste materials.

THE PHYLIS CORMACK
	Greenpeace was first established in 1971 by a group of determined activists that believed ordinary people can accomplish extraordinary things. The group leased a small fishing vessel called the Phylis Cormack and set sail from Vancouver Canada for Amchitka, Alaska. The mission of the group was to protest against Nuclear Testing.
Imagine a small group of people protesting and confronting both the US Government and the US Coast Guard. The important part of this project was that Greenpeace brought awareness to the public concerning "Underground" nuclear testing and individuals could make a difference. Greenpeace was formed by a group of individuals protesting a cause and this has remained an important aspect of the Greenpeace focus.

Greenpeace was successful in its first attempt to change what they felt was a harmful activity to the world environment. One year later the nuclear testing was stopped and Amchitka Island became a bird sanctuary.

Today Greenpeace is an international organization with members in over 40 countries and stresses the importance of understanding both problems relating to Bio-diversity and the Environment. Greenpeace has definite goals and a clear focus on its mission. Their campaign clearly looks towards:
Stopping Climate Change
Saving The Oceans
Stopping Whaling
Saying No To Genetic Engineering
Stopping The Nuclear Threat
Eliminating Toxic Chemicals
Encouraging Sustainable Trade
and
Protecting Ancient Forests

You may not agree with everything Greenpeace tries to accomplish but most likely everyone can relate to one of the major goals stressed by the organization. More important, Greenpeace may actually have made a difference to were you live. Most of the actions taken by Green Peace relate where we live and our immediate environment. We have asked Dave Lotz from or sister show Where We Live to join us tonight and discuss the importance to understanding our environment and taking a stand.

We will be asking important questions for Guam. One of them will definitely be The Dump and how it has and will affect Guam in the future. Other questions might be:
Water Quality On Guam
Forest Fires and Our Reefs
The Effect Of Poor Planning and Over Development On Guam

You, the listener, need to decide and let us know what you think about Greenpeace and the environmental problems that face Guam in the future. We encourage your phone calls and discussion on the issue. It is important to note that Greenpeace does not accept donations from the Government or corporations. In the book "Deception Point" Dan Brown who also wrote "The Da Vinci Code" makes clear what can happen when an organization comes under the control of big government or big business.

FROM HISTORY TO SCIENCE FICTION WITH HARRY POTTER
The Flagship for Greenpeace is named Rainbow Warrior. The name was taken from a Cree Indian tribe. A legend describes a time in history when man's greed made the earth sick. The warrior of the rainbow rose up and defended the earth. As a result we still exist, according to the legend.
The moral of the story: When the last tree is cut and the last river is poisoned, and the last fish is dead, we will discover that we can't eat money.
Well Greenpeace has declared the new Harry Potter book by J. K Rowling to be made from Ancient Forests. The paper is not politically correct. I wonder what the Half Blood Prince thinks about this?

The Deep would not be complete if we did not have a tribute to Scotty from the Enterprise. Hey, Scotty Beam Me Up. Yes and Scotty you need to know that one of the worlds biggest organizations has risen up against Harry Potter who similar to you is able to transport himself from one place to another using of all things the fire place. I wonder if they are burning ancient fire wood or is it a Muggle Forest?

Whether we’re learning about the beautiful ocean that surrounds us, the extremes that humans can withstand or visiting the Enterprise, come join The Deep, hosted by Jim Sullivan with Pam Eastlick and Peter Melyan and this is the place to be on K-57 tonight at 6:00 p.m. Don’t miss it!
