This is a heavy one. From October to April, Japanese fishermen will kill more than 20,000 dolphins and porpoises as part of their annual hunt. Officials claim the slaughter is a form of “pest control” (can you believe that?) to offset the amount of fish the dolphins eat. But, the reality is, the butchered dolphins are sold off to supermarkets and grocery stores.
Japanese fishermen have said they are worried their government will soon shut them down in light of international outrage over the hunt. Sounds like a good idea to me! Contact the Japanese Embassy today and tell Japan to stop the slaughter.

Maybe it’s just me, but it seems that the energy plan we have in place right now doesn’t make a lot of sense. Do you know what kind of energy plan does make sense to me? One that leads to a cleaner (and healthier) environment for us all, creates millions of jobs for hard working Americans, and reduces our dependency on foreign oil (thus increasing our national security). Wouldn’t that be a nice change?
There are three bills that Congress could pass to make all the above a reality. Click here to tell Congress to pass these three commonsense bills right now!

With access to 95% of Alaska’s North Slope and more than 80% of all the offshore oil and natural gas resources in the United States, you would think big oil would be satisfied with where they can drill (and spill) now. Not so much.
They want more. A LOT more. Including the fragile wildlife habitat of Teshekpuk Lake - one of the most remarkable wetlands on the planet, home to millions of waterfowl and calving grounds for tens of thousands of caribou.
If you think the largest-corporate-profits-in-the-history-of-the-world oil companies already have enough of our land…
Click here to tell Congress not to turn Teshekpuk Lake (along with other fragile eco-systems) over to them.
