Earth Day, Ice Shelves, Global Warming and What You Can Do

As consumers, we all leave a carbon footprint. But the new news about global warming, and especially about the ice shelves that are crumbling is pretty frightening. It's almost too late for us to save this planet as a habitable place for our children, grandchildren and on. We must act NOW to make some major changes, and those changes must be widespread. Here, then are some ways you can make changes, without hardship, that will help save our delicate planet.
Reduce your impact on global warming, and save money by shopping at places committed to green products. One such is ChangeforGreen
, which has good prices on everything from low flow shower heads to those ecofriendly light bulbs.

Spread the word about the oceans with organic t-shirts from Cafepress:

Opening Day of Baseball Season! T shirts

I know, I know, there was an opening "night" game last night (Phillies lost), but opening day is in the daytime! There's a full roster of games today, with twelve games scheduled, starting in Cincinnati where the Mets will visit. Later, AL Cy Young winner Cliff Lee and the Cleveland Indians will watch former President George W. Bush throw out the first ball in Texas (and I'll bet he gets booed even in Texas!).
The AL champion Rays are in Boston against Josh Beckett and the Red Sox. At night, Manny Ramirez begins his first full year in LA when the Dodgers open at San Diego.
Likely snow, cold and wind in Chicago forced postponement of the game between KC and the White Sox. They'll try again Tuesday.

But for now...celebrate Opening Day with baseball t-shirts! Click images to learn more or to buy the t-shirt for your favorite baseball team!

Sad News About the Whales

People, it's not just the whales that are in trouble. Our entire oceanic ecosystem is on the verge of collapse. We need to educate ourselves TODAY, there is no time left to waste. Experts believe that the oceans will become unable to sustain life in any form within the next 40 years. That's not some nebulous "great great grandkids' lifetime" - that's within YOUR lifetime, and MY lifetime.

One day after attempted rescue, six stranded whales die on Australian beach
Six whales have died after becoming stranded on a southwest Australia beach, one day after conservation officials attempted to rescue them.
A pod of about 90 long-finned pilot whales were stranded on Hamelin Bay Tuesday. More than 70 of the mammals died, along with four dolphins, but about 10 whales were guided back out to sea by officials from the Australian Department of Environment and Conservation. Six of the rescued whales washed up on a different beach less than a day later. Three died of natural causes Wednesday, and the other three were shot by veterinarians due to their poor condition. The rest of the story....

Whale Song TV Ad - Is this Real?

If you need a smile today, take a look at this. At the end of the day, I know it's an ad, but I'd really like to know if the basic premise is authentic, because it's really moving. How can humans continue to hunt these magnificent mammals of the sea?

Rescued Australian Whales May Be Beached Again

Oh, no, this is awful! But I have to say it's wonderful to see all the people out there on the beach trying to save these magnificent animals. I hope the few that were actually saved find their way back out to sea.


Rescued Aus Whales May Be Beached Again
Eleven stranded whales who were returned to sea by rescuers in Australia are trying to return to shore. The long-finned whales are thought to be disoriented as they keep trying to swim back to the spot where they beached earlier this week.

"They're meandering around at the moment," Department of Environment and Conservation officer, Laura Sinclair, said. "It's not an unusual situation but we're just trying to guide them out further. If one strands itself again, it could put out distress signals to bring them all back."

Whales Stranded, Beached, Dying in Australia

Lately, there have been an unusual number of stranded whales in the Australia area. Large groups of them wash up, or become stranded, on beaches in Tasmania and elsewhere. This is terribly distressing. Most recently, more than 80 whales washed up along the coast of Australia over the weekend. Sadly at least 67 of those whales and dolphins died before rescuers could reach them. Earlier this month, 194 pilot whales and seven dolphins became stranded on a sandbar in Tasmania. Only 54 whales and dolphins survived to go back into the ocean.

What is causing this terrible tragedy? We need to find out, before we lose all these magnificent mammals (yes, whales are mammals, just like us).
Sea Shepherd T-shirt
Greenpeace and Sea Shepherd are two organizations that are actively trying to stop illegal whaling in our oceans. Support one, support the other, but spread the word that we humans need to be better stewards of our oceans and our environment, and we need to work together to save the whales.
