=o= Excuse me, but have you actually contacted Greenpeace about
this matter? Greenpeace has an extremely good track record for
working with local grassroots groups on such matters.

=o= You're overgeneralizing; not all large environmental
organizations behave the same way. Both Greenpeace and
Environmental Action have a track record of doing very
good work with smaller grassroots groups. The Sierra Club
has done more glory-hogging in this regard, though they seem
to have improved a bit lately. All these organizations are
pretty overextended right now, though.
=o= (The Environmental Defense Fund, on the other hand, has a
history of back-stabbing grassroots groups. They're rolling
in the dough these days, thanks to their wealthy contributors.
Go figure.)
