Polar Bears

There's so many amazing causes out there.

I know there are so many organizations out there that I don't receive emails from, but as it is I do receive emails from quite a few.

Maybe I don't have enough money to buy them all out.  But I do have an opportunity to help spread the word and contribute when I get a chance.

Basically what the above link is - its about how the arctic has been opened up for drilling, and polar bears are at stake, along with all of the other amazing animals who live there.

I've taken the below from the greenpeace page:

"For the first time ever the federal government has opened up polar bear habitat for oil drilling in the Chukchi and Beaufort seas of the Arctic. Shell tried to drill there this summer and failed. But the oil giant will be back to drill again next year.

It’s up to us to stop that from happening.
 Thanks to you, we’ve just sent over 50,000 letters calling on President Obama to suspend Shell’s permits and call a ‘timeout’ from Arctic drilling. With your gift today, we’ll mobilize millions around the world, pressure global leaders to sign our ‘Arctic Declaration,’ work to create a global sanctuary in the high Arctic, lead an expedition to the Arctic to plant a flag for all humanity and support all the work we do to protect the environment. "



How can we:


A. Take legislative action so we can be more mindful about where we extract resources from.

B. Advance technology
- either in design or by making things easier to reuse and repair to a point where  we consume very little resources or better yet, learn to build amazing structures and gadgets from waste material. Really take all of our alternative energy knowledge to the next level, I have heard of energy from gravity, crystals, magnets.. is any of this true? Can we really take it to the next level, Planet Earth is full of amazing people with amazing ideas and inventions, how do we bring those minds together? There must be practical affordable solutions to every challenge we face. Actually just found this- gravity light - http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/282006/x/1843545

The promotion of Hydrogen fuel cells and other alternatives- http://www.indiegogo.com/Green-Energy-Documentary/x/1843545


C. Redesign our cities in a way where we need very little driving for our errands, work, etc.


D. Change our behaviors so we need less, we crave less. Why do we need so much anyway?



Anyway, those a few dreams! Hope you guys have a good day!
