Defenders of Wildlife: Take Action for Polar Bears and Lower Gas Prices
Weak oversight and accountability in the oil markets allows wealthy investors from around the world to drive up the price we pay for gas, fueling calls for destructive drilling off our coasts and in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.

National Wildlife Federation (NWF): Encourage Congress to Start Building a Clean Energy Future
President Bush’s decision to lift the executive ban on new offshore drilling is a step backwards in putting America on the path toward progress. America needs energy solutions that reduce global warming pollution, recharge our struggling economy and protect our country’s precious natural resources.

Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC): Tell the Bush administration to stop the slaughter of gray wolves!
Since the Bush administration stripped gray wolves of their endangered species protection in March, more than 100 have been gunned down outside Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks, and hundreds more are being targeted for slaughter. Please tell the Interior Department to do its job of protecting wolves, instead of allowing them to be killed.

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA): Tell Baltimore Ravens That Using Live Animals as Mascots Is a Fumble
The Baltimore Ravens are planning to feature live African white nape ravens at upcoming games, and their plans include having a bird fly out of a smoky tunnel ahead of the players. A stadium full of bright lights, screaming fans, and loud noises—including air horns, marching bands, and amplified sound systems—is terrifying and distressing for animals.

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA): Urge Vivienne Tam to Ditch Fur
Vivienne Tam knows about the suffering that goes into every fur-trimmed garment, but she continues to contribute to the senseless cruelty to millions of animals in the fur industry. With so many fashionable, comfortable alternatives available today, there is no excuse for Vivienne to continue using the skins of tortured animals in her designs.

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA): Demand That Arizona Condo Manager Stop Poisoning Pigeons
Please contact FCCMI Manager Tom Kelly, and let him know that in addition to being cruel, poisons and other lethal methods simply do not control wild-animal populations.

PETA2: URGENT: Burberry’s Annual Meeting - Ask Them To Ban Fur
Tomorrow morning, the 17th, Burberry is having their Annual General meeting for board members and shareholders. This is an awesome time for us to really let the top guys at Burberry know how we feel about their use of fur.

Miscellaneous

Green is the New Read: Dispelling Some Big Brother Myths
It seems like whenever government surveillance and harassment makes the news, coverage in both the mainstream and alternative press turns into the repetition of a series of Big Brother myths. I think this is a good time to try to dispel a few of them.

Grist: Free from the tree
Here’s a great local food/art initiative, Fallen Fruit, a map project of neighborhoods where one can collect unwanted fruit in Los Angeles.
