This goes out to those idiotic animal rights activists that thought they should set free 50,000 minks from a fur farm. Those minks were not native to Greece and most will probably die. Wow! Way to make a statement about animal rights. You might as well have killed them by your own hand and then claimed "At least they weren't made in to coats!" This moronic protest will affect the local environment adversely since that is not the minks natural habitat. Let us not forget that the owners of the fur farm's lives will suffer with out their business.

Make a Change for the 40th Anniversary of Earth Day

 

 
 
Today is Earth Day, 2010, the 40th Anniversary of the call to action from U.S. Senator Gaylord Nelson to learn about and protect the world that sustains us. The first Earth Day Celebration saw 20 million Americans come out to conduct peaceful demonstrations to push for environmental reform and now, 40 years later, we are finally starting to see hope that our country will make big changes to make our lives more sustainable. The United States stands poised to become a world leader in Environmental Protection, but this is not a certainty; Americans need to stand up today and affirm the virtue of environmental protection and ensure that we change course and save our world. Earth Day is here, and the time to act is now.
