• Imagine you have just met a Greenpeace activist. You start asking him questions about his activities. (about 3OO words)

I’ve met that interesting person, last week during a fly from Canada corresponding to Washington. James’s seat was next to mind, and we began to talk about life, burning issues and the world easily. I’m journalist student, that could be a great opportunity to meet a Greenpeace activist, but I like him more as a person and his reasons for have join that kind of projects.

• Hi, excuse me, are you sure the C03 is your seat?
• Hum, yeah, yeah! But if you want to seat next to the porthole, you can take it, as you want…  
• Thanks you’re nice. I’m James, not James Bond, just James Marson, stealing your seat.
• Nice to meet you, you’re my new flying mate, I’m Jessica. And if you have the number phone of your friend, the other James, I’m really interested, ha-ha! So where are you going?
• Arctic, I’m here for work with somebody else, he’s at the back of the plane, and you? Are you on a mission with your James?
•  Yes, I would love it! But I’m a student, and I’m just going spend Christmas time with my family. What do you work for?
• Greenpeace
• Seriously? That huge! What are you gonna do over there?
• That pretty simple, we gone to protest at the potential threat of environmental damage from operations of a Russian state oil firm rig.
• Can I ask you some question about your activity? Actually, I’m a journalist student, and that can be pretty useful to me, but if it bothers you, I get it, we can just jaw.
• Oh, you’re my new fling mate, so ask, I’ve nothing to do, and you’ve 4 hours. Go!
• Thanks, after all you’re maybe most useful than James bond! So, how did you join Greenpeace and mainly why?
• Interrupt me if you thinking I’m talking too much and when I’m boring, ok?
• Never!
• Well! Greenpeace is a non-governmental environmental organization, as you know; we have offices in over forty countries.  Our motto basically is "ensure the ability of the Earth to nurture life in all its diversity". We’re fighting to the right; we’re almost dispensers of justice of modern times. I’m kidding, but our project are really serious and concrete even if I joking. We are implicated in many burning issues; the climate changes, forest and deforestation, oceans, the ecological farming, the toxic pollution, the nuclear and also peace and disarmament. So you see that considerable … But you already know. I was joining Greenpeace after I was graduates to the political sciences; it appeared to me as evidence, I was already sensible to that kind of trouble. My job can consist to direct action, lobbying and research and all that stuff, the good things is I travel a lot; so the worst side are I can hardly have life family stable and there are a lot of risk. But, I choose this life, I like to live dangerously, this work able to me to be useful, and I know why and who against I’m fighting. It’s very grateful job, and look, if I’m not doing, we couldn’t meet.
• That awesome, you’re awesome man, that will serve me, but you made me discover your passion, and I’m really glad, thank you so much!
