ORGs & CAUSES I LIKE TO SUPPORT

Camp Moomba Yogathon - great, local annual benefit for a Summer Camp program for kids affected by HIV/Aids. Founded by Eoin Finn.

I continue to feel troubled and disgusted by the Seal Hunt here in Canada. I hope we can find a way to end it. I think the Seal Hunt category of the PETA Blog is a good place to find information and action on this issue.

I love Japan and my friends there.

As shown in the film The Cove, most Japanese people don't know about what's been happening to dolphins in one small town. Hopefully the film will get distribution throughout Japan. Care to sign this petition?
