Earth Day Wake Up



The kids and I watched Oprah today...(I only watch it once and awhile believe it or not.) There is a garbage patch or swirl in our ocean that spans from Californina to Japan. We all watched with our mouths open. The animals grow up with garbage surrounding them. This sea turtle in the picture above grew up with a plastic band caught around his tummy. They even discovered Bulluga whales with breast cancer that they relate to the enormous disgusting garbage and chemicals. We need to do something different...fast.


So as my little guys were watching this I was impressed with their shock and urge and reaction to DO SOMETHING! Jess kept saying to the t.v. , "Okay...so what do we do to make it go away!" Her heart was breaking seeing all the animals living in the garbage, especially her beloved sea turtles.

Hunter finally says, "Why do they think people are more important than animals?"

We need to do something...any suggestions?
