so I dont know if many of you know about whats been going on with animals in the ocean and plastic/bags but it is getting really really horrible.  I want to bring this up because I really want to get others to make a change. If you havn't already, please switch to cloth bags and make sure to dispose of all plastic properly so animals are safer.

here is a link that explains a huge amount about why this change is VERY important.
I dont usually send mass emails around. I dont usually believe in them but this link... this factual link needs to be passed on to every human who has a email or access to the internet.

I have heard  a lot of facts about plastic bags and I made the change but seeing this... made it hit harder. And now I'm sending this information out. I want to make a change. please help me.

If this email turns into some sort of chain letter.. I could care less... The message is so very important and people need to change their usage of plastic bags.

Birds are the main victims but others are as well. seals, dolphins, fish, turtles... they are all being killed, damaged and injured beyond repair. Birds have been found dead,dying with bellies FULL of plastics off all types.

I know most people know to chop up the plastic from six packs but this... this needs to be known and practiced more and more. bags, bottles and their caps, broken colored plastics.. RECYCLE... pelase

we as furries should be trying to help out our furry friends as much as possible !

switch to cloth bags, recycle and make sure to get others to see this link and make the change.
BE SMART !
