Ok, so I understand the whole concept that in some cultures you have to kill something for the right of passage to becoming a man. Maybe a fox, bear, deer or something of that sort. Like one or two but your not going to kill 50 fox’s to prove your manhood or at least I thought. Between the Norwegian Sea and the North Atlantic Ocean lies a small province in Denmark where since 1948 young boys would gather together and in order to become a man you had to kill as many dolphins as you can. Now I honestly feel that this is ridiculous, not the becoming a man part but massacuring dolphins to do so? That’s like killing bunnies to prove your manhood.

As the years pass we have started seeing more and more of the Arctic icebergs deteriorating which is Polar Bears home as well as hunting ground. The ice bergs grow smaller and smaller every year and we see the population of Polar Bears declining because of this. They loose their homes, hunting ground and they also drown because the distance between ice bergs has grown greater and greater to a point where they go looking for food and can’t make it to another ice berg.

I have seen some pretty amazing looking fish but never one which brings a smile to my face. This is the Mexican Water Monster, or the proper name The Axolotl, and it is nearing extinction. This amphibian is about a foot long and is being threatened due to pollution and nonnative species populating the same waters. Researchers state that it could be only a matter of five years before they all disappear.

Many animal populations are threatened due to human conflict and the Bwindi Gorillas one of many. They reside in the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest which is where the borders of Uganda, Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo meet. VBS.tv has just put up some travel videos which focus on the population of the gorillas and they give you an idea of how threatened they are and the amazing forest they live in. You can take a look at part 2 and 3 below.

I’m not sure what else can make you feel and realize that taking your time on rather you should go green anytime soon is a good idea. With the world that we live in effected by our decision daily, we shouldn’t waste anymore time on not improving our world. From the war in Iraq to the financial crisis we all need to understand that “waiting” isn’t a great idea. The video above is really a mood killer and hits you pretty hard. The organization behind the ad is Quercus, a non-profit group that focuses on raising awareness of the Portuguese environmental problems and campaigns against nuclear power. Hopefully this video will help make people realize that Global Warming shouldn’t be something that we ignore.

The World Wildlife Fund has just recently set up a huge lot of paper mache Pandas at the “Parvis des droits de l’Homme at Paris Trocadero esplanade” to show some love to the Pandas. There are about 1,600 Pandas set up here to represent the number of Pandas that are left in the world. This is set up to show us how small the amount of these awesome animals are left in the world and the WWF hopes to send the message across to the people so they look to more environmental friendly things to use for energy such as solar panels, wind and many others.

There are many winery’s using solar energy but here we bring to you the worlds largest solar powered winery. This is set to be built for Constellation Wines Gonzales winery in Monterry County, CA and will expand over 170,000 square feet producing 1,700,000 kilowatts hours a year. This amount of energy will be able to power over half of the winery’s energy consumption. That’s not all thought, the energy that the Winery does not use will go to powering the energy needs of the residential area surrounding the winery. That’s over 1,600 homes receiving about 25% of solar energy from the winery. It’s always great to see big businesses helping out the people around them.
