A little bit of good news is coming out of China after the horrendous earthquake that has killed at least 10,000 people.A wildlife preserve at Chengdu research center near the worst hit part of the massive earthquake is reporting that the 60 giant pandas that live at the center are safe. But there was no word yet on the fate of pandas at another research center at Wolong, near the epicenter of the quake, according to Reuters.
Don't think me callous about the human tragedy because I'm not. I'm sure everyone knows that the giant panda is one of the world's most endangered species and is found only in China.
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.
