On Fire

Badly injured koala at Lake Innes Nature Reserve

Australia started the beginning of 2020 on fire. I saw horrific photos of kangaroos badly injured or burned to death. The number of animals that have died is approximately 1 billion, and this is on top of the animals who were lost in Australian bushfires in 2019!  This is more animals than the population of humans in the United States.  Entire species are thought to have been wiped out.  Okay, folks, things have to change and we have to reduce our carbon footprints quickly!!! There is absolutely no time to lose.  We all want to be loved, to be happy and to be safe.  Animals do too.  Climate change is contributing to the fires.  Above is a photo of a burned koala bear.  Work to save Earth’s inhabitants now!

She comforted me.

She made me smile.

She was wise.

She was honorable.

She made me a better human being.

She, quite simply, was an amazing animal.

Cherish these precious beings, for they make the world a better place.

Save these animals from extinction

Giraffe

Giraffes, whales, coral, apes, oceanic birds, bumblebees, asian elephants, insects, sharks and monarch butterflies are at risk due to climate change.

Rising temperatures, rising waters, heat stress, and disappearing habitat are all affecting these animals. Please take a stand, reduce your carbon footprint and help keep them alive. There are many ways to do this and save money. You can also let your elected officials know it is time for them to support green energy and end fossil fuel subsidies. There is no time to lose!

FOREST Fires

Noah Berger

As forest fires spread across the state of California I cringe because so many people in the United States do not understand climate change and do not seem to care about its consequences.  California is the bread basket of the country, we rely on it for our fruits and vegetables, wine, movies and so many other things.  What will we do without them?  More importantly, how will we help all of the people who are losing their homes and livelihoods?  How will we help all of the wild animals that are losing their homes?  I am deeply grieved and saddened by the current situation.  And I am tired of lairs, cheats, and those who abuse their offices because of their own greed and ignorance.  Climate change is real.  It is not going away.  We lose dozens of animal species every day.  And we are losing people too.

I urge you to plant trees, to go meatless, to use refillable water bottles, to donate money to a conservation organization.  I urge you to make a difference.  If we don’t change now there will be no future and nothing left to save.

A Penguin is Running for Office

Yes, you can vote for Earth!  She is a penguin and is running for office! Yes, a penguin is running for office.  She moved to the United States because the ice is melting in Antarctica.  Since she cares deeply about the environment, and all of us, she decided to take action.  Please visit her website and learn about work and health matters.  She is a really cool penguin.  I am certainly going to vote in November.  Join us, and her!  Thank you.

They Need Us

More than ever, animals need us.  In honor of them, I share a beautiful photo here.  It was taken by Premal Patel in Namibia.  May all of us remember to help protect the natural world.  It is precious and worth conserving.  Please do your part and help make a positive difference.
