Here's this months round up of easy eco actions and activities...
Sign Viva's petition to ask Amazon to stop selling Foie Gras. I've also sent a message to Amazon directly asking them to stop. Be warned, the photos on the page, of ducks being force fed, broke my heart a little bit.
Sign this petition to ask EDF Energy to stop legal proceedings to sue 21 activists for £5 million in damages for holding a peaceful protest against EDFs gas-fired power stations.
Send this online letter from The Wildlife Trusts to ask for Marine Conservation Zones.
Check out Climate Week, 4th to 10th of March...
Meatout - 20th March, have a meat free day...
World Water Day - it's on the 22nd March....
And Earth Hour, 23rd March. (Feel virtuous indeed if you do something for all 4 events!)
Don't forget Mother's Day on March 10th this year...instead of buying an expensive present, try making your mum a meal or a cake, taking her on an exciting outing or giving her a plant or some seeds.
If you have any ideas to be added to this months list, then let me know in the comments section and if I like it, I'll add it! And feel free to share any of this info (or the whole post) wherever and with whoever you like!
I can't believe Amazon sells Foie Gras. That just seems weird, aside form disgusting.
ReplyDeleteI know, it's not nice, I hope they stop selling it soon.
DeleteI can't bring myself to look ! all my life I've rescued animals but on the proviso 'if I can do something about it, tell me and I will, if not then I don't want to know' - not being cruel, but I have to sleep at night ! I have to turn off the TV and quickly turn the page in the newspapers if they are reporting on any kind of cruelty, having said that, I donate from my meagre pension to 3 animal charities, always pop money into the collection boxes and take in any strays that I can. Good for you though for bringing this unecessary and barbaric practice into the light!
ReplyDeleteSaw you in Shrewsbury by the way on Saturday, across a busy road - and no, I'm not stalking you ! I'd been to the vintage fair - had you ?
No, don't look Wean if the image will haunt you forever, it keeps popping into my brain :(
DeleteI'm sure you're not stalking me! I didn't go to the vintage fair...did you enjoy it? I saw it advertised once I got to Shrewsbury, but me and mum had just done all the charity shops and antique shops and our feet hurt so we went home for a lie down instead!
That is all great stuff Sooz - thank you for sharing it.
ReplyDeleteWe have an Earth Hour get-together with our transition group, think this will be our 4th year... We have an outdoor veggie/vegan feast surrounded by lanterns & afterwards we sit chatting around a bonfire!
Kay :)
That sounds lovely, I always manage to miss Earth Hour, so I have to try hard to remember it this year!
