Roger, thanks for your suggestion. This wording makes a lot of sense.

Who has created a 350 action we can learn from?
|
|
|
good catch, Tori. For starters, I added "green building" as a key word to the Sustainable Design Area of Focus portal. See: http://www.wiserearth.org/aof/803

Hi there, Great to hear from you. Have you searched WiserEarth for organizations in Mexico working on the issues you're interested in? I found this list of 734 organizations when I searched. A search under Resources might also yield some interesting results!

Where do I go to get the latest info on the topic?

This just in: KIDS for the BAY says:
This Wednesday, November 14th please join KIDS for the BAY staff as we spend the day volunteering to spot and drive distressed oil-covered birds to be rehabilitated. We will have two volunteers groups of KIDS for the BAY staff - one arriving at the Shorebird Park Nature Center at the Berkeley Marina at 9am and one arriving at noon. We invite you to come be part of the positive actions to help save the birds in danger because of the oil spill. For more information on volunteering please contact: Shorebird Park Nature Center 160 University Ave. (510) 981-6720, 981-6721 or 981-6722 Or... The Oiled Wildlife Care Network at (415) 701-2311 If you cannot come out and volunteer, the rescue groups are also in need of the following items: Blankets Towels Pillow Cases Heating Pads Thermoses Water Bottles Sharpie Pens Flags (such as used for surveying, irrigation, etc.) You can either drop off donated items to the Shorebird Park Nature Center or you can drop them off to our office at 1771 Alcatraz Ave. in Berkeley tomorrow and we can drop them off for you when we volunteer on Wednesday. |

Here are some more Volunteer Opportunities from Baykeeper:
Oiled Wildlife Network in Fairfield has limited opportunities for volunteers for tasks such as cage cleaning and other general support of rehabilitation processes. Call (800) 228-4544 to volunteer. Volunteers must be at least 18 years of age and in good health and are required to participate in training. They have collected 545 live and 369 dead birds as of Sunday evening. Baykeeper needs general office help during daytime hours over the next two weeks to process and respond to volunteer inquiries. Tasks will include data entry, internet research, and returning phone calls. They also need volunteers later this week to walk docks all around the Bay to educate boat owners and marina operators on how to handle contaminated boats. Email volunteer@baykeeper.org with your availability and which tasks you're interested in, and they'll get you scheduled to come in. Cleanups Baykeeper is working on setting up another cleanup with EPA, but again they are only available for people who go through the 4-hour training session. Just so you know, Baykeeper does not endorse unofficial oil spill cleanups. However, many are being organized and you can learn about them at Kill the Spill's blog at http://sfoilspill.blogspot.com/. You should be aware that safety gear such as double Nitrile/rubber gloves, overshoes, and Tyvek suits can minimize exposure to bunker oil, which causes cancer and other long-term health problems. Children should not be exposed to bunker fuel at all. Anything that comes in contact with the fuel, including shoes and clothing, should be doubled bagged along with all other oily waste and taken to a hazardous waste facility. Do not wear oily clothes home! Do not put contaminated materials in the trash or compost! |

There is! I just volunteered this morning--
You can go to the Berkeley Marina and sign up at the Nature Center. You will get all the information you need to start identifying and reporting oiled birds. You can also sign up at www..baykeeper.org for official alerts. |
