In 1971 when they set off in a boat from Vancouver to protest nuclear testing, no-one had even heard of them. They weren't even called Greenpeace. It's safe to say that everyone has heard of them now!

The boat was named Greenpeace and the group went on to adopt that name as their own . Today they are known internationally as the world's greatest environmental campaigners and most effective thorn in the side of insensitive big business and tone-deaf government.

To celebrate the organisations's 40th birthday, the video has been put together "in which various greedy corporate bigwigs literally curse the group after being defeated in some sort of environmental scuffle," says Adweek.

We can't improve on their heading" Greenpeace Ad celebrates 40 years of pissing people off ." Let's give Greenpeace a roll on The Drum!
