Earthjustice’s Save Our Skins Campaign

Mar-29-2011 By Barbara Zak

What if endangered species, such as Wolf, Salmon and Polar Bear, could Save Our Skins by talking?

Well, Earthjustice’s new Save Our Skins campaign, was designed to be more than just a petition, to sign and send to Congress.  Instead, Salmon, Polar Bears and Wolves, are given a voice to speak out, via social media, combining wit with real facts and emotion, to state their case.

Save Our Skins, has a goal, to send 37,000 pre-written letters telling Congress, that we want these majestic animals, to be around long enough for our children and grandchildren to see.  They need YOU  to help them reach their goal! The tongue-in-cheek interview (below), is part of Earthjustice’s pledge, to save the threatened Endangered Species Act.

Save Our Skins: Interview with Wolf, Salmon, and Polar Bear

If you haven’t been on Facebook or Twitter lately, you may not have met the newest members of the social media circle.  These users have scales, paws, and fur. They are Save Our Skins, Wolf, Salmon, and Polar Bear, and they’ve been tweeting away, to make sure their protections aren’t stripped away, by the latest round of DC politics.

Earth Song

Feb-18-2011 By Barbara Zak

What About us?  What About EVERYTHING!  Can WE Save the EARTH?

I love the lyrics, in Michael Jackson’s Earth Song.  The words are so true,  it’s like an anthem from Earth, crying out.  Although, this is from the 2010 Grammy Awards, it is a beautiful tribute.  It gives us lots to think about, for the state of our world, a year later.  Really, it does make you wonder about EVERYTHING!  

WHAT, if anything, can we do to save and protect our Fragile Earth?
