Right now, the Environmental Protection Agency is considering reversing a Bush administration decision that has prevented California and other states from taking action to reduce global warming pollution from cars.
And EPA is taking public comment before making a ruling. I signed a petition and sent it in. Can you as well? CLICK HERE!
Thank you.
Jaguars once ranged as far north as the Grand Canyon in the United States. But only a few have been documented in the U.S. since 1971.
One in particular, a 16 year-old dubbed Macho B, was the most photographed jaguar in the country.
Late last month, Macho B was inadvertently caught during a research project, and Arizona Department of Game and Fish officials took the opportunity to fit him with a GPS collar. Researchers were excited at the prospect of studying the behavior of jaguars in the U.S. based on the data that Macho B would send back.
But that excitement turned to sadness. Days later, Macho B had to be euthanized when it was determined that he was suffering from terminal kidney failure.
The fight for U.S. jaguars lives on. Later this month, Defenders will be in court to force federal officials to develop a recovery plan for U.S. jaguars — a move the Bush Administration refused to take on. Read more. Adopt a jaguar

We were supposed to be hard at work yesterday, planning for the release of our Spring 2009 Collection… When these two characters {Gerry & Rich - Amivectio} showed up with two cases of beer. Our master planning turned into a discussion about Gandhi vs. Che? If you see these two shady individuals drinking on the job in a town near you, please take a flick, and report them to friends@amivectio.com. Thank you in advance!
Tell the Energy Department to save money and energy by strengthening lighting efficiency standards
A new lighting standard could save energy and money and reduce global warming pollution. Urge the new leaders at the Department of Energy to strengthen the proposed lamp standards and close loopholes left behind by the Bush administration. TAKE ACTION!

As Congress irons out differences between the Senate and House versions of the economic recovery bill, critical decisions will be made affecting our nation’s ability to create green jobs, save consumers money and reduce global warming pollution. Urge your senators and representative to maximize clean energy investments in the final bill. TAKE ACTION NOW!
Over the past five years, Alaska’s aerial hunting program has claimed the lives of more than 800 hundred wolves. Despite strong scientific, ethical and public opposition to aerial hunting, Governor Sarah Palin has…
* Proposed paying a $150 bounty for the left foreleg of each dead wolf.
* Approved a $400,000 state-funded propaganda campaign to promote aerial hunting.
* Introduced legislation to make it even easier to use aircraft to hunt wolves and bears.

During his campaign, President Obama spoke often of his admiration for farm workers organizer Cesar Chavez and appropriated the Spanish translation of his “Yes we can” mantra.Today, Obama, who made huge inroads among Hispanic voters, helping him turn Democratic blue several Western states in November, issued a statement marking what Chavez’s 82nd birthday.”Cesar Chavez’s legacy as an educator, environmentalist, and as a civil rights leader who struggled for fair treatment and fair wages for America’s workers is important for every American to remember. ”Having begun as a farmworker, Cesar Chavez eventually co-founded the United Farm Workers and struggled to provide hundreds of thousands of people with better working conditions and the chance to live a better life. The cause of fair treatment and fair wages for America’s workers lives on today through the work of countless others.”Chavez’s rallying cry, ‘Sí Se Puede’ – ‘Yes We Can’ — was more than a slogan, it was an expression of hope and a rejection of those who said farmworkers could not organize, and could not take on the growers. Through his courage, Cesar Chavez taught us that a single voice could change our country, and that together, we could make America a stronger, more just, and more prosperous nation.” - Posted by Foon Rhee, deputy national political editor March 31, 2009
