I sign petitions and then wonder if they help. For example, a world can ban whaling, but Japan will whale anyway. Five million people could sign a petition, but does it help? If a world won't stop Japan, why do we believe that 5 million signatures would mean anything more or less to them? While I use Japan as my example, the thought applies to global parameters.
Does anyone know?
Anyway, I saw this post on Twitter from @ibificus. It made me think of two friends in particular (Kelly P.-F. and Amanda S.). I care too, so I signed. I want to pass this along. Browse the site, I encourage you to sign petitions you see relevant. If you find out how much help (or how little), let me know!
SAVE THE ELEPHANTS, a petition to help prevent the breaking of the worldwide ban on ivory trading.

"These things are good: ice cream and cake, a ride on a harley, seeing monkeys in the trees, the rain on my tongue, and the sun shining on my face. These things are a drag: dust in my hair, holes in my shoes, no money in my pocket, and the sun shining on my face."-Rocky Dennis
My grandmother used to say "Six of this. Half a dozen of the next thing. "
Sometimes things far away seem very important. Things standing right next to us seem equally important and may be just a little easier and more gratifying to fix.
