Green Clothing Company to Recyle 100%

Check out this amazing clothing company! Patagonia, headquartered in California, USA, plans to recycle 100% of its merchandise by 2010. The company initiated the Common Threads Garment Recycling Program in 2005 by which customers can return Capilene Performance Baselayer clothes they no longer use. The garments are then made into new items by a fiber manufacturer. Patagonia also recycles its fleece, as well as 100% cotton T-shirts, and some polyester jackets, nylong clothes, and shorts. Since the start of the Common Threads project, 6000 KG of apparel has been recycled and even more has been collected. By autumn 2009, 80% of its clothing will be recyclable through the program. Wouldn't it be great if all clothing company can do the same? Way to go, Patagonia!

A Friendship That Transcends Boundaries

This is an amazing video. You can't help but be touched by the love between these two friends. Wow. Imagine what our world would be like if all of us treat one another the same way. Who says that animals are not sentient? They have feelings of love, friendship, loyalty, and trust. (Watch that tummy rub!) Sadly, we kill them for our own selfish reasons. Some people still kill elephants for their tusk. Just for the ivory and we destroy such a gentle loving creature! Yes, some countries kill dogs for meat. And how's that any different from any other animals, like a cow, a pig or a chicken? Let's spread the love and respect all life.

Thanks CBS for reporting this, and thanks to the friends of friends of my best friend who sent this to me.

Russia bans the hunting of baby seals

Whoo-hoo! Some good news to share: Russia has banned the hunting of baby seals in areas around the White Sea. Thank God, no more heartless and cruel killing of these harmless animals just so we humans can look good.

Honestly, how can we rationalize with our conscience that it's okay to wear the skins of murdered innocent animals? Imagine if it's our own skins? This reminds me of Nazi Germany when human skins were used to make lamp shades and who knows what else. As a race, we were horrified that the hair of Jews killed in experiments were used to make rugs, etc. So how can we condone the practice of killing animals just for aesthetics? I just can't get past that.

Hallelujah and God bless Russia for prohibiting this God-awful practice!

What's up with Prez Obama

I'm a fan of President Obama, and I really hope he's doing what he says he will do. I'm already disappointed that he's sending troops to Afghanistan. And this AIG thing, it's uncool that big banks and corporations get bailed out when middle class Americans suffer. I really hope Prez Obama does the right thing for this country.

The Truth of Nursery Rhymes

Hi, folks. It's been a while since I've last updated this blog. Life just kinda takes off on its own without you looking sometimes. But I'm back with a funny cartoon that just cracked me up. Enjoy :)
