*** How kids are impacted by this oil spill disaster and what they decided to do about it.
From Denny: It’s difficult to watch the oil spill news these days when you see these poor Pelicans in my state of Louisiana all covered in oil. You wonder if they will survive. To date over a million dead birds have been found. How many more there were will never be known because BP blocked access for months to beaches littered with dead animals so the media was unable to film it.
This young boy, who lives in the middle of the state, Alexandria, Louisiana, decided he wasn’t going to sit on the sidelines. He was determined he was going to figure out how to raise some money to help the oil slicked birds. When parents try to teach their kids how to be environmentally aware and care about others outside of themselves, this had to be one proud moment for this parent. He is just a regular kid who wanted to do something extraordinary. Take a listen:

What a timely topic and such a beautiful blog. The oil spill has made me so sad that it is even hard to write about it … Such destruction, such gross disregard for our ecosystem as our planet's resources get pillaged. Thanks for sharing this… By the way, are you warriorkitty on Stumbleupon? If yes, then thanks for all those links.Cheers,Eliz
Hi, ElizOF, thanks for stopping by. Oh, yes, I'm warriorkitty on SU and warriorlight on Twitter and Delicious and other various social sites. Sorry to be so annoying with the links as I'm writing on 14 blogs. I just have this thing that folks need to get more information about what's going on in their world and it's tough for most people to stop and do all the research I do to find the details and less touted stories when they work all day. I firmly believe we are all connected. We can solve our problems that arise if only we don't dehumanize each other. I do try to send funny links and yummy recipes and photo and poetry posts in an effort to balance all the serious stuff. I figure if people are not interested in the links they can just ignore them. If something appeals to them they can check it out. Thanks for being so kind as to take all the links, much appreciated! 🙂
