These clips make be both sad and hopeful at the same time.  Sad that we have so much work to do in order to heal our planet and it's animals,  yet hopeful that we are moving in the right direction.  I really hope that we can keep all of the information regarding these issues moving into the mainstream.

It's sad very sad what we are doing to our planet and it's animals, but reading all your comments and some of us who try to do something to make it better, gives me some hope that we will eventually get to a better place, a healthy, peaceful and clean planet earth!

Everytime my boyfriend gives me a bottle of water or uses a bottle of water, I bring it home clean it and save it to fill up with my filtered water for travel.  If I can't stop him, I at least try to reuse the bottles.

I have also been using my granparents daily news papers for kitty litter.  It is less messy than clay and fresh step. Is this a good idea?

Also, are Lush products good for the environment?

I've heard lots of negative things about plastic water bottles - especially the "one use" ones. I'm not sure if the quality of plastic is low and therefore leaches chemicals into the water you drink out of them, or if that only happens when they get heated in some way (sitting in your hot car or in the sun). Regardless, there's been enough about them for it to scare me, and I steer right clear of them. I wouldn't use them.
A great idea would be to grab one of those travel filters and travel water bottles for your bf for his birthday, valentine's day, or for any day!  I love kind gifts!

I was feeling really really horrible about this terrible oil spill and didn't know what I could do to help, but then I found this:

Its from Matters of Trust, they take hair from your animals shedding and from hair salons when you get your hair cut and stuff them into old nylons to make oil booms and also make oil mats which are so EFFECTIVE at cleaning up oil spills! Your hair could help! I certainly hope Alicia posts this on the kind life because if we all did this we could make a difference!!!! :)

I don't understand the need to use plastic water bottles when we can get them from our faucets with a filter and drink water just as fresh! And just wash our glasses like in the good ol' days!  Plastic bags, Plastic bottles,styrofoam, they are ALL things that will be here way long after we're all gone.  Doesn't that make people wonder WHY we are doing this?

I don't know where to post this, but this is really well-done, and worth seeing.  Thank you...
