Hello!

So I'm finally on Thanksgiving Vacation (Thank God! No Pun Intended)and I have time to organize this club. Some changes will be happening around here so don't be alarmed. A contest is coming up in the near future (if college doesn't drag me down) and will be posted later this month or early December. I hope people want to enter! Well that's all I have to say for now. See ya!

Stop Shark Finning
In celebration of Shark Week, please visit the following website to sign a petition to stop shark finning:

Ocean Conservancy: Stop Shark Finning [link]

Regardless of how you feel about sharks personally, there's no denying that they are a vital part of our ecosystem and without them our oceans would crumble. Sharks DO have a purpose, and they have a right to live. Remember that they were here first, and the oceans belong to them, not us. Let's learn to coexist in harmony with these beautiful animals.

The Disappearing Bee
If you haven't already heard, honeybees world wide are disappearing!! If this decline continues it is estimated by 2035 the honeybees will be gone! This is bad since 1/3 of all our crops are pollinated by honeybees, if they are gone, who's going to pollinate them? If you want to find out more on what is happening to the bees, check out this pbs Nature program. >> [link] <<
