About
Eco photos show the beauty and destruction of Mother Earth. Pictures sound the alarm; wake us up; and motivate us toward activism.
ECO KUDOS
The award is not designed to be a quiet, academic, scientist-focused event, but instead an energetic and spectacular celebration of conservation victories. The goal is to inspire the general public to start caring about conservation, and to place heroes, who live in tents in danger of both wild beasts and poachers, on the pedestal that we usually reserve for sports and entertainment stars.
TAKE ACTION!
A Call to Green Blog Readers: TAKE BACK the Comment Boards!
By Brian Merchant, Planet Green
This message is going to be short, sweet, simple--and long overdue. It's time to take back the comment boards on green blogs and websites. They've been domineered by obstructionist opponents of science and climate action long enough. So what can we do? Comment back. Read more.
Replace your lawn with native shrubs, flowers and trees. Plant a butterfly garden, and put in a pond. You'll benefit from the beauty and tranquility of your yard, and wildlife will benefit from the food and water sources that you provide.
Need some guidance? Read the book Bringing Nature Home.
Save indigenous people.
Stand up for workers' rights.
Be kind to animals.
Stop factory farms.
Save 100 animals every year.
End deforestation for grazing.
Save an acre of trees.
End grazing on public lands.
Tell USDA 'Wildlife Services'
to stop killing wildlife for
corporate ranchers' profits.
Stop wars for resources.
Help end corporate rule.
Live your conscience.
Save our oceans.
Stop the #1 polluter of water.
Support a sustainable planet.
Think outside yourself.
Live compassionately.
Stop the violence.

I have totally enjoyed reading your profile page and learning about what's important to you as an eco activist. I am very interested in learning more about your upcoming journey on your bike to raise awareness about rainforest issues. Tell me more! How will you raise awareness -- through what kind of messages while traveling? Will school kids be able to track your journey? I"m creating another social network specifically for conservation efforts in the world's biodiversity hotspots. I"m hoping it's ready for membership in another couple of weeks. That will be another perfect place for you to promote your journey and eco efforts. At any rate, I'm looking forward to getting to know you and am so glad to see you here. I'll add you to our sister site for green bloggers and book authors.
