What happened the first week of 2010? Weather reporters are run over by snowmobiles, dolphins should be treated as equals, and the earth wins.
Ok~ so a quick run down on what happened in the FIRST WEEK OF January!!
First of all: We challenged all of you freaks out there to take the 1 green thing challenge (and then we offered to help you achieve your goal):
I got a little crazy and decided to take on removing all of the garbage I am personally responsible for putting into the oceans (and am trying not to freak out that it is going to 559 pounds).
The cold weather has gotten to some climate deniers in Alaska, apparently they think if it's not warm in Fairbanks global warming is a face, and built a 2 ton green ice statue of Gore as a way to challenge him to a debate:
Oh Avatar. The war might be over on Pandora, but it's alive and well here in the Internets. A few comments about how the movie calmed the environmental activist withing turned out to be fuel for the fire.
Scientists are saying that dolphins should be treated as "non-human" persons.
The Sea Sheppard's whale-protecting Batmobile was attacked and sunk by a Japanese ship.
And in case you didn't get the good news: planet earth won this week: Victory for the Black Mesa
A few finds that are destined to bring a smile to your face:
This guy is doing interpretive dances to the natural world:
I'm not sure if you noticed or not, but it's winter. And the weather men and women are going through some hilarious trials and errors as they report on it. Why is it so funny to watch weather reporters get run over by kids on sleds? I'll ponder that one all weekend long: http://current.com/items/91855814_live-from-the-snow.htm
