Greenpeace, perhaps the most well-known environmental group in the world, became synonymous with clever campaigns that drew media attention to their work in the 1970s. Lately, in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, they’ve been organizing virtual marches across Europe by employing light shows and holograms to raise awareness of climate change.
