what is so great about it?   I notice they show a windmill...In California a lot of the windmills are being shut down.   Seems they kill birds.   Rare birds.   endangered birds... the green guys are killing my environment and ruining the ecosystem!

I think Airhead has some pretty smart, well trained and well dressed chickens though.

I live in a house that is 90 % glass. Woke up 1 morning to a very loud bang - and looked outside - I saw a hawk looking at me with a dazed stare. He then shook it off and tried to take off - he missed the other windows of my house by not more then 6 inches.

Lesson: Birds are dumb - in this case he tried for a mouse and forgot to pull up - or pulled up right into a 10 foot pane of glass.

It appeared in a shirt Homer was wearing on The Simpsons.

Maybe we can Cafe-press it.

U ever heard of these cuty funny things called "links". U can use them to go from one website to another ore from one part of a website to another part. Its so cool.
OK for those that think this site is only for environmental wackos; better use this link: http://earthtrends.wri.org/
It gathers very interesting information not only about environmental issues. Especially the informations about other countries are great.
