Solving Global Warming: Doing Something

Petition: Climate Name Change

The goal of this petition is to create awareness for those who think that climate changes and global warming are a fantasy and not an imminent reality. This is directed for politicians who ignore and deny this issue, and with this belief they resist and stop climate changes policies.

From their website:

"Since 1954, the World Meteorological Organization has been naming extreme storms after people. As scientific evidence shows that climate change is creating increasingly frequent and devastating storms, and with climate scientists declaring these extreme weather events as the new normal, we propose a new naming system. A system that names extreme storms caused by climate change, after the policy makers who deny climate change and obstruct climate policy."

Petition: Protected area in the Canaries

The sharks are a endangered species and, although people don't realise it, a crucial part of the ecosystem. Here's a spanish petition to create a protected area in the Canaries, not only for sharks as also for rays and chimaeras. It's an alternative in order to protect the species of being hunted for their flesh or derivatives (such as the their fins and liver oil).

In you want to help the these animals, sign here.

And I'd like to share a comment from the creator of the petition - Suso Rodas: 

"S.OS sharks and rays in the Canaries: 

In our waters are being committed many atrocities, and many of them only hint at the enormous degree of barbarity and callousness that we can have with the natural environment around us. I think by now we can not speak of ignorance or simple ignorance.

Every day, dozens of tourists are led in charters (recreational fishing collective list 6th) to catch various species of fish, some of them very important for the sustainability of our marine ecosystems and whose populations are threatened with extinction, as is for angels, stingrays, stingrays and other sharks."

Too bad...

Other Issues: Bullying

It's not very talked about, but it exists and it's ruining lives.

The Garbage Island

In the Pacific Ocean, between Hawai and Japan, there’s something called the Garbage Island. 

The ocean currents take the trash in the ocean and directs it to an area in which exists a massive concentration of garbage - much like an island. 80% of that trash is from landfills and the dumping of garbage in the seas, and the remainder 20% is from commercial ships. 

There are tonnes of plastic floating in our seas and it is not only dangerous for us, humans, but for animals too. This quantity of trash can induce mutations in living animals cells and therefore create deformations. 

This “island” is known since 1997 however nothing is beeing done to clean the seas and erase this “threat”. The major population doesn’t know about this and other issues, but is essencial that we are all aware of it. This is our planet and we are completly (at least, right now) dependent on it. 

If you read this, tell it to your friend, share it in your blog or other social network, because only when everyone is talking about it then something is going to be done. Help the planet and help yourself!
