There is a petition to put polar bears on the endangered species list. It takes very little time, and the link is here, through We Can Solve It. It will take about as much time as scrolling over the rest of this entry.
I signed it. But first, I wondered, should I? I did not wonder, why bother? Because I know why I bother. It's not much of one. The question is not "Why bother", but "Why not?".
Consequently, I've started to wonder about the Endangered Species list. Wikipedia, of course, has a good overview. You can find information for your area's beasts & plants via the EPA. I like the reference provided by the Fish & Wildlife Service the most useful for my questions.
We human creatures have been bad caretakers of what is only ours on loan. We have been unpleasant neighbors to our fellow animals on this planet we share.
Petitions CAN make a difference. I still haven't gotten over the bad taste (metaphorically speaking, cuz I wouldn't put that in my mouth) of Tim Eyman.
