RETHINK BOTTLED WATER


Nearly 90% of plastic water bottles are not recycled, instead taking thousands of years to decompose. Buy a reusable container and fill it with tap water, a great choice for the environment, your wallet, and possibly your health. The EPA's standards for tap water are more stringent than the FDA's standards for bottled water.

No to mining in Palawan | Save Palawan | Stop Mining | Sign the Petition


Hi there, I just signed the online petition to save Palawan’s forests from mining and thought you might want to sign as well.
You can sign it here: http://no2mininginpalawan.com
National Geographic named Palawan as one of its top-20 destinations for 2011. It has 17 Key Biodiversity Areas and two UNESCO World Heritage Sites that are at risk from mining.
If we don’t do anything, the future for Palawan’s indigenous people and rare endemic species is bleak. Please sign the petition, then forward this email to some friends and ask them to do the same. We know the strength of People Power, now it’s time for Palawan Power!
Thanks!

GO VEGETARIAN ONCE A WEEK One less meat-based meal a week helps the planet and your diet. How?


For example:

It requires 2,500 gallons of water to produce one pound of beef. You will also also save some trees.
For each hamburger that originated from animals raised on rainforest land, approximately 55 square feet of forest have been destroyed.
