Raising Awareness for Our Environment

This past summer I watched Live Earth on msn.com. They had a lot of educational videos that were both informative and entertaining. Until that point, I hadn't realised how desperate our environmental situation is. I realise there are many issues that we should be concerned about such as poverty and lack of affordable healthcare in my own country or poverty and sickness in the world, so this is not to say that we should forget about those issues or ones that I haven't mentioned.

October 15 is Blog action day. This year is devoted to our environment. What can we do? Here are some sites to visit for ideas:

Blue-eyed Siamese Cat flies to Japan

Today was filled with my art and time with Sputnik. She was bathing herself which gave me the chance to catch a photo of her. I actually adopted Sputnik as a kitten in 1998 when I was living in Mexico. She made the long trip with me to Japan on July 25, 2004. It took me about 6 months to plan the logistics of bringing her from Mexico to Japan. Since I had to fly via the U.S. on Mexicana Airlines and Korean Airlines, that meant 4 countries and two airlines would need to approve her transport. There were many details to keep track of for each country and airline. After 6 months of stressful planning, 16 hours of two airline flights and layovers, She made it to Japan safely!
