Would a native speaker accept:


" If you want to find more information, contact grass roots like Greenpeace, Friends of the Earth, the WWF.....

Is it acceptable or not . Please tell me YES/NO

Thank you!

Very close!

I would say, "...contact a grass roots organization, such as Greenpeace..."

"Grass roots" is more of an adjective than a noun.
