Over The Last Twenty Years Or So, I Have Been Involved In A Survey.
I Always Thought That I Was Just One Of Those College Experiments.
Happy To Help Out, I Just Always Answered Their Questions.
Then I Thought That They Got Tired Of Lil' Me... I Did Not Hear From Them For Years... They Always Had A Way To Find Me...
... After Five Years Of Feeling Abandoned... I Finally Get A Call... They Had Been Looking For Me! The Man Told Me That I Represented 10,000 People And That I Was Very Important To Them And Their Research.
I Thought About It For A Moment, And Then Started Laughing So Hard That I Started Snorting....
Which 10,000 People Do I Represent?
I Can Not Function Without My Coffee...

The Greenpeace ship Esperanza spent two and a half months this summer investigating conditions in the Bering Sea, and here’s what we found: Factory fishing trawlers are taking too many fish out of the Bering, fundamentally changing the ecosystem and leaving wildlife in the area with nothing to eat.
We’ve created an addictive little video game for you to have some fun with while getting a sense of the dangers lurking in the Bering first hand.
Play The Game! And share it with your friends, too (there’s a take action link when the game is over)!
Enjoy!

Just because the forest is being cut down in somebody else’s backyard, doesn’t mean you can’t help stop it…
Right now, a bipartisan bill – the Legal Timber Protection Act (H.R. 1497) is pending in the U.S. House of Representatives. The bill would protect old-growth trees and plants from Brazil to Indonesia from being illegally cut down and exported on to American soil. Criminal logging also emits staggering amounts of greenhouse gases, contributing to global warming that affects us all. Here, in the U.S., timber companies lose an estimated $1 billion each year to due to unfair competition from illegal logging.
Take Action Today Congress has a chance to cut illegal logging now!
We need Representatives to hear how important this bill is to those that inhabit theses ancient forests, our jobs, and the future of the planet. Greenpeace is working hard overseas to protect ancient forests and the wildlife that inhabit them, and now, we can do something at home to prevent the destruction of these valuable ecosystems.
Peace & Thanks
