110,000 miles of wilderness in Utah is under threat from President Bush. He wants to auction it off to oil and gas companies. Take action right now and tell the Pres. that his actions are not in the best interest of this country. Here is a bit of text from Robert Redford’s opinion on it [...]
I adore this boot from Tom’s Shoes. Get them at here for $98. Put these over a pair of skinny jeans and you’ve got a great look in a comfortable shoe. Also for every pair purchased, Tom’s Shoes will donate a pair of shoes to a child in need. So you not only get yourself [...]
That’s because they are! Check this out: A high-ranking Interior Department official tainted nearly every decision made on the protection of endangered species over five years, a new inspector general report finds, concluding she exerted improper political interference on many more rulings than previously thought. Yep. We’ve had a saboteur working on the issues effecting [...]
Video is a very nice way to keep up to date on issues. And Earth Video is all about the planet and animal issues, so you’ll get your share of news. The most recent video has to do with elephants in zoos – how they die early in captivity and why zoos cannot provide enough [...]

Last night I had the privilege of seeing Gene Baur, co founder of Farm Sanctuary, speak at Sarah Lawrence College. It wasn’t my first time seeing him speak, but it was the most intimate setting so I got the chance to chat with him a little bit. And he’s every bit as lovely as he [...]
PETA, as always, is being smart by using a vapid celebrity to make a larger point. This time, Britney Spears is getting called out on her use of animals in her video for her new song, “Circus.” I’m sure just by the title, you know where this is going. PETA has this to say: “As [...]
We all know that farm animals (as well as being fantastic) are the biggest methane producers – and cause more green house gases than all transportation combined. So, what’s the next logical step? Make farmers pay a tax on their windy cows and pigs. I’m all for it. But that’s obvious. I don’t think we [...]
How did I miss a MASSIVE article on the rights of animals in Newsweek! And it’s by Peter Singer! Perhaps because it was the week before thanksgiving, and I was already drooling in anticipation of my vegan celebration roast, or finishing up stuff at the office before my week off. I don’t know. But I’m [...]
