Green Cross International

Green Cross International is an environmental organisation founded by former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev in 1993, building upon the work started by the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Green Cross International's mission is "to help ensure a just, sustainable and secure future for all by fostering a value shift and cultivating a new sense of global interdependence and shared responsibility in humanity's relationship with nature." This organisation publishes a newsletter and also came out with a publication entitled "Antarctica: the Global Warning." Thirty-one countries have established Green Cross National organisations which are part of Green Cross International.

Famous quotes containing the words green and/or cross:

    It was in and about the Martinmas time,
    When the green leaves were afalling,

    Fell in love with Barbara Allan.
    Unknown. Bonny Barbara Allan (l. 1–4)

    The point is to show who is the cross and who the crucified.
