Conclusion After all, it is safe to assume that the main and the only reason for the pressure group to exist, is because their concerns are real and about the great danger. They survive only if they gain enough support so they can finance themselves. They benefit society in many ways and even if not all of us support their actions, most of us think - somebody has to do it. The community benefits as many corporations alter their business activities after they were opposed by the 'Green' parties. The global warming still happening but at least we take actions and may be finally we will be able to stop the changes in our climate that lead to the danger for all mankind. After all it is save to assume that the environment would be much worse if there were no opposition at all.
