Thanks Goodness the sun is coming out, because it's been dreary and grey here, and when I read about  "A Battle Brews Over Ecuador's New Drilling Plans" on Eye On The Amazon, I just feel tired, and sad...soo sooo sad. I am trying, trying to spread the word and get people talking and make people aware, but is it helping, Can we really do something. Are you trying? Do we just read it and go that's to bad, what can I do? 


I can blog about it, but at the moment, that's about the only power I have. What kind of power do you have? These issues pertain to all of us. They will affect our lives and our children's lives. I honestly hope and pray you are doing everything you can about this.
