#1 Green advice


Hopefully everyone has been watching the outstanding TV series on the Science Discovery channel titled “Powering The Future.”  For a long time the science community has known just how severe our environment and our energy needs are in. We need to get off of oil burning technology.

If one does not care at all about the natural environment of our planet, the countless living beings that depend upon the natural environment, then at least care about your kind, humans, because soon we are approaching the day when it will take more than one barrel of oil to get one barrel out of the Earth.

Anyhow, in a recent episode of “Powering The Future,” the host M.A. Sanjayan met with one of the leading green experts.  Sanjayan asked him, if you could ask people to do one thing in going green, then what would it be. The expert said he would ask people to stop eating meat!  He went on to say that the energy required and also the gases given off by the cows is alarming.

I hope every person on Earth would *PLEASE* consider eating less meat. Not only will it help our world in the most way, but it’s the humane choice.  Most people have no clue of the miserable life these poor industrial milking cows go through being pinned up and in a head lock with machines sucking all of their milk till just on the verge of where the nipples would bleed!  And for what? To only end up being killed for their meat!!

Humanity is indeed growing up, entering adulthood, becoming humane and considerate to *all* living beings. :-D   Please consider.

Do you care about other living beings? They, Cows, live in a nightmare! Please consider eating less meat, and drinking less milk.

Cows Milk is not a good source of Vitamin D compared to other sources. One 8 oz serving of Cows Milk only has 100 IU Vitamin D. Herring, for example has 1383 IU Vitamin D!  Pink canned Salmon has 530 IU Vitamin D. Halibut has 510 IU Vitamin D. Shitake mushrooms has 249 IU Vitamin D! Can you believe that, 4 Shitake mushrooms has 2.49 times more Vitamin D than an 8 ounce glass of Milk. Canned Tuna has 200 IU Vitamin D in just 3 ounces. Soy milk has the same amount of Vitamin D as Cows milk, and I tell you that a good brand of Soy milk taste a lot better than Cows milk. Indeed some brands of Soy milk taste terrible. You just have to find a good brand like Trader Joe’s. Here’s a table –>

Happy Cow Appreciation Day!


Today is Cow Appreciation Day. I say be nice to the cows. Don’t eat them! :-D   Nearly everyone I’ve known has become healthier after becoming a vegetarian.

Give it a try folks!  How could we support the murdering of these precious animals on a global massive scale. They’re stuck in a headlock for hours per day not being able to move while they’re milked by machines just prior to the point where their nipples would start to bleed.

Time to enter full adulthood humanity!!  Please give vegetarianism a try. It’s tough at first, habit, but like all habits they eventually fade over time. I know you’re tough enough to do it. :-D

New Climate change website


Someone just emailed me about an awesome website on climate change –>

http://www.fly.co.uk/co2-emissions.html

At the end it says,

“If everyone in the United States ate a vegetarian diet for seven days, they would save around 700 megatons of greenhouse gas emissions.”

That is so true!  And hence one reason why I do not eat meat!  The other reason is because I am 100% opposed to humanities global scale slaughter of living animals.

Must see Video!!


This is a must see video by John L. Wathen, 9 minutes & 55 seconds in length. Please spread the word about this video. At 2:32 (2 minutes & 32 seconds) time mark the video starts to get more intense. And at 6 minute time mark it gets even more intense.

Unbelievable rapid destruction on a scale unseen by humanity thus far!!

The amount of oil on the oceans being burnt right now is scary. Not only for the toxic oil pollution, but for all of the mammals such as whales and dolphins.  Can you imagine the Whales, the gentle giants of the seas surfacing to breath air, but to only find it’s living skin being torched by the massively hot burning oil?

As you see in videos, John had difficulty finding life in the gulf now. A few dolphin pods swimming around dead floating dolphins trying to figure out how to get out of this world of toxic fumes from unheard of amounts of burning oils.

Please see these blogs:

No more oil drilling

Obviously everyone in the green movement that was against deep sea oil drilling was correct. Regardless, these companies cannot be trusted, and mistakes will always happen eventually. Here in the USA the majority of conservatives / tea party / republicans were and still encourage deep sea drilling, while Democrats / Liberals were and still are against deep sea drilling.

Such conservatives / tea party / republicans place $ over life, period. Most people have absolutely no clue how much life has died because of the highly toxic crude oil, and this will have an impact spanning decades. One of many examples is the sea turtles that were already endangered are dieing from the toxic oil and lack of food. The remaining sea turtles are forced to swim toward the few remaining fishing areas where they end up with a hook in their mouth.

Perhaps the greatest tragedy is the precious wetlands that are being destroyed as we speak due to the toxic crude oil.

Humanity, please grow up and stop all oil drilling! You have beautiful sources from Wind to Solar.


Please pray, meditate, volunteer to help, donate, or whatever you believe in to help in any way possible.

How can you help?

A number of organizations are recruiting volunteers:

The National Wildlife Federation is looking for volunteers and support to help spot distressed or oiled wildlife, and to assist in the cleanup and restoration efforts along the coast of Louisiana.
You can text the word “NWF” to 20222. That’ll donate $10 to the National Wildlife Federation through your phone bill.

Save Our Seabirds is a Florida bird rescue group that is looking for support as its response team prepares to help oiled wildlife. Call 1-941-388-3010.

The Audubon Society, which is affiliated with the Louisiana Coastal Initiative, is making its Center for Birds of Prey in Florida available for bird cleansing and rehabilitation and is seeking volunteers. Elsewhere, Audubon said it was gearing up to mobilize volunteers and provide assistance as the oil reaches land in Louisiana and elsewhere. Find a local office

The Deep Water Horizon response team is looking for help in identifying shoreline and animals affected. Oiled wildlife should not be captured but instead reported at 1-866-557-1401. To report areas with oil ashore or to leave contact information to volunteer in the affected areas, call 1-866-448-5816.

In addition to the wildlife specific organizations, others are also looking to assist with the effects of the oil spill.

The First Response Team of America is working with the National Guard in Southern Louisiana to build dams to hold back the oil from the fragile coastal habitats. Their founder, Tad Agoglia — who was named a CNN Hero in 2008 – has made their work on the oil spill their top priority until the disaster is contained.

The Mobile Bay National Estuary Program is looking for volunteers to help reduce the potential impact of the oil spill in Mobile Bay. Call 1-251-431-6409.


Thanks for helping!!!  :cry:

Dear Friends,

The following recent tragic news is Heart breaking, it just rips my Heart open. The worlds Gorillas are being slaughtered by poachers in torturous deaths. There are now a grand total of ~ 700 mountain Gorillas in the world. Thousands have been killed in the most gruesome inhumane way possible, chopping of limbs while alive, hit with massive machetes on their backs splitting open, in front of their family members & babies. The Alpha males will always defend his family at all cost! Unfortunately, the poachers kill the Alpha male.

It has bec0me such a scare that everyone around the world is asked to do what they can. These countries do not have the funds to fight all of these poachers constantly. Rangers are being killed. These poachers are wiping these magnificent majestic creatures of the face of the Earth.

Evil japan

Has anyone been watching the TV series “Whale Wars”?  I cannot believe japan still kills whales in the most disgusting tortures fashion. The show is on as I type this, and cannot watch most of this episode. If you are not watching this season of Whale Wars, more specifically todays episode, then you have no idea what these sick japanese people are doing, and most of japanese people support these war whaling ships.

As I type, the guy in the seashepherd helicopter is describing the coverage of one of the japanese war ships desperately trying to catch the final two whales of a family. The war whaling murdering ships have killed the entire family with just two whales left. The helicopter guy just clocked the whales desperately swimming at 17 knots as the war ships are on their tale!  17 knots is incredible speed for these type of whales, and unfortunately the Whales are getting very tired he said. I just glanced at the TV to see the saddest sight ever, as these poor gentle giants are swimming so hard, as fast as they can to get away from the japanese war whaling ship. Why? Because these two remaining whales just witnessed their entire family get murdered one by one from the three sick japanese war ships!

The helicopter guy just said the japanese war ship has one of the Whales in a bad position, and it doesn’t look good.

Well, … it’s over,  :cry: … they  just shot the massive harpoon into one of the final two whales. Now there’s just one Whale left in the entire family. These poor gentle giants do not die on the spot. It is a long and torturous death. They fight the massive steel barb lodged deep into their body as the war ship slowly drags the whale to the war ship. Then the poor whale, still alive, is dragged miles across the ocean to the mother ship, where it’s dragged onto the massive mother ship. From there the whale slowly drowns in his or her own blood as they cut into the gentle giant, a mammal, the largest known creature in all history, larger than any dinosaur. Their brain is the size of a car. Their heart is the size of a small car, which can be detected from two miles away. That day will be the last song that the beautiful family will ever sing in the great oceans. And for what? Because japanese people like the taste of whale blubber and meat! :cry: The end!

How sad for japan to support this!!! Until they stop, I can *never* buy a japanese product again.

Please don’t think you can’t help. Each person can make a difference. As much of a difference as you want. *Please* consider helping!
