Found this awesome site featuring fantastic photos of Antarctica and its gleaming, icy world...it's like a whole other universe...We Midwesterners get a taste of such glittering, otherworldly beauty, but like the North and South poles, our winters have become much milder...:-( This isn't good, to say the least...
I post the link to these pictures in hopes that people will come to understand why movies like "Happy Feet" are made...it's not just about the adorableness of penguins in the South Pole or polar bear cubs in the North pole...it's about sheer biodiversity, the cycle of Life, and how we humans have been so utterly disrespectful to the Mother and Her animal children.
People wonder why polar bears are starving...why fish populations for penguins have depleted We need to look no further than ourselves...the vehicles we think we have to have to impress other people or to "keep up with the Joneses."
Here's some food for thought for you....
What if the Joneses went Green and bought hybrids that are 1/4 to 1/8 the size of a Hummer? What if the Green Joneses told you they "adopted" wolves, penguins and other endangered animals instead of buying expensive birthday and holiday gifts? What if the Green Joneses were genuine about these moves toward saving the planet we share?
Would you follow in their footsteps then? Would you do it because it's still "keeping up with the Joneses" or would you do it because you know in your heart that what they told you was a good thing?
Here is the site for your further ponderance.
