Create a Whale to Save the Whales
This whale made by Roxanne J Kotzman
Greenpeace Australia is running a super cute campaign against Japanese whaling where you get to make a virtual origami whale and send it swimming to the Japanese Prime Minister. More and more questions are being asked in Japan about why tax dollars are being spent to hunt for whale meat that nobody seems to want. Greenpeace has been at the forefront of trying to stop this practice fro may years. Now you can help. There is a running tally on the website I'm number 13,103.
Even though it's Greenpeace Australia you can help too. Just click the button that says "I don't live in Australia" and away your whale swims.

About this blog
Roxanne Kotzman is a Daily News Photo Department veteran of nine years. When she and longtime friend Stacy Long
discovered their love all of all things environmentally responsible, they launched Happy Monkey Planet and jumped head-first into the vibrant eco-community.
Wow, so much to learn! But initially the idea is a pretty simple one: Let's change the world through information, education and action.
Rox & Stacy are a lot like you: ecologically minded but sometimes just plain overwhelmed when charged with the task of making a far-reaching difference in the environment. They have jobs, families, homes, lives and pets.
But what if doing better was a simple as a light-bulb change, a reusable canvas grocery bag, recycling that soda can or a cold-water wash?
These eco-chicks just hope to have a little fun, learn a little more, share a lot of information and maybe make the planet a happier, greener, cleaner place.
How fun! I just dolled up my whale with a heart shaped tattoo and a water spout and sent little Makapooh on his way to Japan - he's number 15,575 - swim little guy :-)
