I think that: I am amazed to find out that although Eton (turnover of over 20 million a year) is a registered charity, Greenpeace is forced to operate as a limited company. Greenpeace should be given charity status immediately.

Because: Greenpeace is a charity in many other countries but in England it is seen as "too political". They are, in my opinion the most effective organisation for positive change in the environment's favour because they are not afraid to annoy powerful people. They should not be penalised for making things uncomfortable for world governments but rewarded for the immense benefit they give world populations.
