Police Officer Uses Day Off to Save Old Stray Dog
A police officer and citizen spent their day tracking down a stray dog in an area where they'd seen it roaming the streets looking through dumpsters. They finally found and rescued the dog from the streets and brought it to a vet where the dog spent the next ten days being healed. The dog was 15 pounds underweight, had a nasty ear infection, an intestinal disorder, and severe bad teeth. His matted, oil-soaked coat, was beyond repair, and it had to be shaved off. But this dog was saved and given a good home thanks to ordinary people.
In Bellevue, Washington, a parks worker came to the aid of a distressed mother duck, who had been hovering near a grate that her ducklings had fallen into.
Nine ducklings were rescued out of a fountain with too little water, thanks to some kind-hearted passerbys.
A passerby and his daughter saw a mother duck and a dozen ducklings and realized that another was stuck in a storm drain. Firefighters from Mantua, New Jersey, came to the thirteenth duckling’s aid.
You don’t always need emergency personnel to make a duckling’s day. Ten baby ducks were safely brought out of a sewer drain in a California community by the residents.
Traffic in LA came to a halt so one little duckling could make its way to safety.
A flock of ducklings are able to make it onto the sidewalk after someone gives them a step up.
Sometimes mother duck doesn’t know best: after one led her eight duckling into rough waters in Sydney, Australia, all were rescued by a helpful human.

Kid takes on ocean pollution, invents garbage-eating sea monster
The oceans are so full of garbage that there are islands of the stuff massing. Fortunately, 19 year old, Boyan Slat has invented the "Ocean Cleanup Array" that collects garbage using ocean currents.
The project is still undergoing testing, with no word of whether it will ultimately work as proposed — something Slat himself makes abundantly clear. We're still hoping for the best, however. If you'd like to get involved, Slat and his team are looking for recruits and donations here.
The Guardian of Golden Gate
The Golden Gate Bridge is an iconic landmark of San Francisco, drawing millions of visitors each year. Unfortunately, it is also one of the most popular suicide destinations in the world. California Highway Patrol Sergeant, Kevin Briggs, has saved hundreds of people from jumping over the famous railings in his 26 years of patrolling the bridge through his compassion and dedication - a true everyday hero.
Costa Rica Bans Hunting
The Costa Rican Congress voted unanimously and the president signed a wonderful law, one that we can only dream of passing in the U.S.: a ban on hunting. The ban has teeth: a fine of up to $3,000 for hunters who break the law.
Nature's Gate just became the fourth company to pull out of the Chinese market until the country stops requiring tests on animals for cosmetics. They are joining companies Paul Mitchell, Dermalogica, and Pangea Organics that have also all pulled their products out of China in order to save animals' lives, and many more companies, such as Urban Decay and NYX, have refused to sell in China until the animal testing requirements are lifted.
Protecting Wildlife with 5 New National Monuments
President Obama has just protected key wild places and wildlife by designating FIVE new national monuments.
The new national monuments include the Rio Grande del Norte in New Mexico, 240,000+ acres of rugged, wide open plains, volcanic cones, and steep canyons with rivers tucked away in their depths that provide critical habitat for wildlife like bighorn sheep, elk, river otters, cougars, and more.
Success! Public Lands Safe from Oil and Gas Drilling
Public lands in Wyoming and Utah embody the unrestrained beauty of American wilderness. Thanks to the effort of conservationists and activists, including thousands from the Care2 community, public lands in these two states are now better protected against the pollution of the oil and gas industry. This victory comes after the 10th Circuit Federal Court of Appeals rejected the energy industry’s attempt to force the Secretary of the Interior to issue oil and gas leases on public lands.

10 year old boy saves Jackson the cat from bullies.
Wendell Overton, a ten-year-old boy of Manteo, made the world a better place on March 12. Jackson the cat was being tortured by a group of boys. Courageous Wendell rescued Jackson and took him home to his mother, who called the Outer Banks SPCA. Jackson is doing great and will be available for adoption soon! Thank you, Wendell, for being so brave and doing the right thing!

739 Miles of U.S. Coastline Protected for Loggerhead Sea Turtles
After five years of delay, the federal government finally proposed to protect more than 739 miles of critical habitat for threatened loggerhead sea turtles on their nesting beaches along the U.S. Atlantic and Gulf coasts. These sea turtles face serious threats to their long-term survival from drowning in fishing nets, loss of nesting beaches due to coastal development and sea-level rise. The proposal spans from North Carolina to Mississippi and encompasses 84 percent of all known nesting areas.
Circus Animals Get A Break In Slovenia
Slovenia recently banned the use of wild animals in circuses, making it the fourth European Union nation to impose such a ban!
In the United States, at least 55 communities have some ban or restriction in place on the use of animals in circuses or for elephant rides. In December, the City Commission of Hallandale Beach, Florida voted to ban bullhooks, bucking straps and other cruel devices used to train and dominate animals to perform tricks for entertainment.
European Union Halts Cosmetics Testing On Animals
As of this week, the European Union now bans the sale of cosmetics that were tested on animals, even if the testing happened outside the EU. This is a hugely exciting development in worldwide efforts to stop cruel experiments on animals!
Hainan Airlines maintains its ban on shipping primates to laboratories.
More good news on the animal testing front! Because no China-based airline is willing to get involved in this cruel practice, primate experimenters have no easy or feasible route to import primates to the United States from China. So less monkeys in laboratories for testing! Hoorah!
Good News for Sharks!
Delegates at this month's Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) voted to regulate trade in several threatened species, including the oceanic whitetip shark, porbeagle shark, and three species of hammerheads. This is a step in the right direction for conservation and protecting the plummeting numbers of shark populations over the last two decades.
Earth Hour success
Once again this year's Earth Hour, hosted by WWF, was a huge success, with hundreds of millions of people in 7000 cities and 150 countries contributing to this global movement and showing that we care and are banding together to protect the planet.

*********************************************
Tell us a bit about yourself.
LL: (Pause for 172.6 seconds) . . .
Well. Type A Personality. Lover. Vegan. Cancer Sign. Designer. Ego-Slasher. Asian. Meditator. Traveler. ESFJ. Seeker. Sinner. Student. Evolving Being.
Now, take a little bit of each, and you have me! Vwah-La!
How did Love Peace Vegan come to be?
LL: I was scouring the internet for shirts with Vegan Graphics that matched my aesthetic and I could not find it. So finally, one day, I made one. I wore them everyday and a stranger of a lady suggested, I should sell them. LIGHT BULB! My friend Galaxie introduced me to Etsy and here it is!
How long have you been vegan and what started your cruelty-free lifestyle?
LL: I was Vegetarian for about 17 years and then Vegan for over 4 years now. My body told me to: I was 7 years old and my stomach suddenly had these major pains and I could not eat anything. I was in the hospital for 4 days and 3 nights. The funny thing is they could not find a reason. My mom was a vegetarian for about a month. When I came out of the hospital, I distinctly asked my mom to become a veg-head. I never turned back since. Even when I was starting to eat food as a baby, I would chew the meat forever and then spit it out. I don't think I was ever meant to eat it.
What other projects are you currently working on or a part of?
LL: I am the creative director of all the Loving Huts in the USA where I work with the interior and graphic design (www.lovinghut.us).
I do freelance work and photography with "Linh La Design & Consultation". (www.linhla.com)
My mom and I own a Loving Hut Vegan Restaurant.
How do you spend your time when you're not saving the world?
LL: Relaxation. Meditation. Dance. Design. Laughing. Trying to find enlightenment in every corner.
One thing you can't live without?
LL: Aw man. My computer. It connects me with the world-wide-web, allows me to design, and is just marvelous!
Best piece of advice for life in general?
LL: My favorite quote that I am living by: "“I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something. And I will not let what I cannot do interfere with what I can do.” Edward Everett
I think human beings are spectacular creations. We are so powerful, but I think we are afraid of that power or not willing to let it reach its full potential. With my eyes, hands, and feet, I will try to do everything that I am able to do. I am just one person, but my quality of a person will make a difference in this world as long as I am here! Let's save the world now, shall we?!
Monday is a beautiful day, just like every other day of the week. I love Mondays, particularly because I get to share these posts with you and spread a little extra motivation and hopefully some brightness to your day. Motivational Mondays are here to get your week started off right and keep that momentum rolling throughout the rest of the week. So come back to this post every day and use it; re-reading today's tips will be like new motivation all over again and remind you to love life! Because life is worth loving! …and so are Mondays. ;)
☺ Don't sweat the small stuff…will it matter in a year from now? A minute from now? Don't over think things and make a bigger deal than needs be. Ask yourself if it's really worth stressing over? If you think it is, maybe there are some things you need to change so that those stresses no longer bother you. If it doesn't, then shrug it off and carry on smiling.
☺ All is well in Life! This is your positive affirmation for the week, your positive reminder about life to repeat to yourself daily. Have faith in the Universe, that you are on the right path and that all good things are coming your way.
☺ Do 5 Good Earth Deeds! April is Earth Month, and Earth Hour just passed and I hope you turned your lights out and joined in the movement and the fun. Keep that momentum going, make the effort to do at least 5 good deeds for mother earth this week.
☺ For every complaint, be grateful for ten things! If you want good things in your life then it's time to practice more gratitude and complain less. For every complaint you make you draw more of whatever it is you're complaining about into your life. So catch yourself whether you're complaining in your head or out loud, and cancel that negative thought out by focussing on what you're grateful for instead. That gratitude will draw more things for you to be grateful for into your life. Simple Law of Attraction!
☺ Do the YMCA! This past week, Cory and I have been picking up each other's mood whenever we need it by randomly coming up behind the other, grabbing their arms and making them do the YMCA. Strange I know, but that's just how we roll. Being silly takes the stress out of life, if you can't take a moment to be silly and smile about it then what's the point? So cheer up others and yourself by doing the YMCA-A!
☺ Don't miss out on today! If you're constantly looking forward to tomorrow, then what happens to today? You're missing out, that's what! You only get one today, you will never ever have that day back, so make the best of it no matter what--this can particularly be applied to Mondays, yes? Every day is a gift no matter what day it is, so treat it as such and be thankful for it.
☺ "Patience child, patience. Remember, life is a journey. If you got everything you wanted all at once there'd be no point to living. Enjoy the ride, and in the end you'll see these "set backs" as giant leaps forward, only you couldn't see the bigger picture in the moment. Remain calm, all is within reach; all you have to do is show up everyday, stay true to your path and you will surely find the treasure you seek." - Jackson Kiddard
Have a beautiful day, week, life! Much Love from me to you!
Create a Nice Day! xo

Obviously, recycling is fantastic! But recycling is only half the battle and sometimes comes as an excuse to still buy over-packaged items, etc. We think to ourselves, well I can still Recycle this, so what's the harm? While, yes, the benefits of recycling are grand, it does still take a lot of energy to recycle items into new ones. Don't let the ability to recycle items be your excuse to not reduce your impact. Choose to reuse more than you buy new. For instance, you can sometimes recycle plastic grocery store bags but you should still bring your own canvas or tote bags instead as this is far more earth-friendly. You can often recycle cardboard food boxes but that doesn't mean you shouldn't bring your own reusable bags and buy in bulk--and you can still find another use for that cardboard box before recycling it as well.
Get creative and get savvy. Pay attention instead of just throwing something into the recycling. Pay attention to just how much you recycle and what you can do to reduce the number of things that need to be recycled.
Here are some tips to get started:
Use tote or canvas grocery bags instead of plastic.
Reuse cardboard boxes for packaging or for art projects.
Reuse paper to write notes on--or, again, for packaging or art projects.
Think before you print. Reduce how much paper you use.
Buy in Bulk! And bring your own reusable bags.
Buy products that are minimally packaged (when not buying in bulk).
Use your own stainless steel water bottle and never buy super wasteful plastic bottled water.
Just because we CAN recycle, doesn't mean we shouldn't still pay attention to our global footprint. Reduce and reuse before you automatically opt for recycling. :)

This is a "guest spot" so to speak. I wanted to share this article written over at Care2 which summarizes nicely and directly why the KeyStone XL Pipeline should not be approved. There are related links at the bottom as well as Petitions to sign that I highly encourage you to do so to let your voice be heard on this dire issue.
Thank you for your love for Earth! xo
by Susan Casey-Lefkowitz Director, International Program, NRDC (Natural Resources Defense Council)
Legislation headed to the House this week gives President Obama 60 days to decide whether to approve construction of the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline, which would carry the dirtiest oil on the planet mined and drilled from under the forests of Canada to the Gulf of Mexico. That’s ridiculous. The Obama administration is on the case and has said it will take another year to conduct a thorough review of the economic, national security and environmental facets of this project. It’s irresponsible for Congress to insist that review be eliminated as a gift to Big Oil. It leaves the administration no choice but to bury this boondoggle for good — and we don’t need 60 days to figure out why.
Take 60 seconds to read six reasons why it’s time to say “No” to the risky and reckless Keystone XL tar sands pipeline now.
1. It would transport the dirtiest oil on the planet.
It takes two tons of tar sands — strip-mined or drilled from the forest floor — to produce a single barrel of bitumen, a low-grade, high-sulfur crude oil that must be extensively refined to be turned into fuel. Producing bitumen generates three times the carbon pollution of producing conventional North American crude oil. And the additional refining required to turn this crud into fuel only makes matters worse.
2. It would kill more jobs than it would create.
House Republicans claim the pipeline will create tens of thousands of jobs. It won’t. The pipeline would create, at most, 6,500 temporary construction jobs, very few of which would be local hires, according to the U.S. State Department. After that, it would leave only “hundreds” of permanent jobs, according to TransCanada, the Canadian company that wants to build the pipeline. A Cornell University study concludes the pipeline would actually kill more jobs than it would create by reducing investment in the clean energy economy that already employs 2.7 million Americans.
3. It would make us more oil-dependent, not more secure.
The pipeline would terminate at Texas refineries and ports along the Gulf of Mexico. From there, tar sands crude could be exported anywhere in the world. Indeed, that’s part of the business plan for some of the companies that have promised to buy the oil. Military experts advise that the Keystone XL pipeline would perpetuate our deadly oil dependence and will not make us more secure.
4. It would require Americans to take on a risk to benefit oil companies that Canadians themselves are not willing to take.
Even Canada has put the brakes on their new proposed tar sands pipelines (the Northern Gateway tar sands pipeline to the West coast and the Trailbreaker tar sands pipeline to the East) due to the need to take more time to listen to public concerns about water and safety. Why should Americans carry a risk that Canadians themselves are not willing to take?
5. It would threaten America’s breadbasket and U.S. waterways.
The pipeline would cut through the heart of the Great Plains, land of more than 250,000 ranches and farms, putting our croplands and food producers at risk of oil spills across the American heartland. Republican leaders want an approval of the pipeline despite the fact that Nebraska has not even settled on a route to avoid the precious Ogallala Aquifer, where millions of Americans get their drinking water. Further, Keystone XL would cross more than 1,500 waterways, from the Yellowstone River in Montana to Pine Island Bayou in Texas, threatening them with the kind of accident that dumped 42,000 gallons of oil in the Yellowstone River last summer and put 20 times that much tar sands oil in Michigan’s Kalamazoo River in 2010 — a spill that still has yet to be cleaned up.
6. It would lay waste to Canada’s Boreal forest, home of our backyard birds.
Tar sands producers have already destroyed an area of Canada’s Boreal forest the size of Chicago, creating an industrial wasteland of toxic sludge dams in the heart of the Boreal. The forest is a critical nesting region for America’s backyard birds and one of the last truly wild places on Earth. If the destruction continues, the total sacrifice area will be as large as the state of Florida.
The pipeline is a conduit to the past. Rather than deepening our addiction to fossil fuels, it’s time we did what presidents reaching back to Richard Nixon have called on us to do and reduce our dangerous dependence on oil.
It’s time to invest in wind, solar and other renewable fuels and the energy-efficient cars, workplaces and homes of tomorrow.
In every sense imaginable, we have made "Nature" our enemy. Mankind has created this notion that, not only are we above nature, but we must defeat and conquer it. This thinking would imply that we can live without it. We cannot. Sorry to burst that bubble. Mankind has placed itself upon a pedestal of which we are everything and the world is ours to control, conquer, manipulate, and destroy, and there will be no consequences for our actions. There are in fact dreadful and deadly consequences but we will continue to ignore this matter. Why? Because we have been taught to trust and believe that technology can save us from anything.
We have forgotten the love. Let's find that love again. Not all hope is gone, not by a long-shot. We can certainly be Happy again and love nature again and have blissful beautiful wonderful fantastic lives. Better lives than we are living right now. By a long-shot.
We have been conditioned to believe that we need to be protected from the natural world, when really it needs to be protected from Us. We have lost respect for the natural world when we should be opening our eyes to its wisdom, to respect, recognize and understand that wisdom and use it to help us instead of having it work against us. In this way of thinking, we have thrown our survival and our happiness out the window--in the form of garbage and litter and pollution and angry anti-social thinking. Science and technology are the answer to everything and so we continue to push away and detach ourselves more and more from the natural world. We have lost harmony with the planet and in doing so push ourselves closer and closer to the brink of destruction. I'm not just talking about the destruction of our home, of Mother Earth, I'm talking about ourselves, our mentalities, our beings, our Happiness. In today's day and age, the only thing we need saving from is the technology that got us into this mess in the first place. Pollution, cancerous chemicals in our beauty products, islands of plastic in our oceans, clear-cutting forests that filter our air, pesticides and fertilizers contaminating our soils and food; it all amounts to one rather obvious conclusion; the way we treat our planet is no different than the way we treat ourselves.
We have been made to believe that the Earth is evil. That the soil is dirty and so we must be squeaky clean with cancerous anti-bacterial soaps and sprays that rapidly diminish our health. God-forbid should we play outside in the dirt and soil, it's evil and gross and will get our brand-name clothing messy. Stay inside where it's "comfortable" and where technology will save you and give you unending convenient distractions away from the natural world, numb your mind and make you miserable. And let's not forget those animals, those possessions and accessories of ours, filthy little things that don't have feelings or emotions.
The further we disconnect ourselves from nature, from the natural world, the more miserable we become. The less we are actually Living at all.
Children these days are said to be suffering from "nature deficit disorder" in which they no longer experience, explore, and enjoy the gifts of the outdoors and nature, and instead are lost to the enclosed world of electronics. Nature has become a stranger to them, much as it has to us. They don't know what fresh air is, what being immersed in nature feels like. They don't climb over rocks, discover the living creatures under their noses, or appreciate the beauty of a tree or an ocean. Because of this, it is no wonder we do not care for our planet, how can we when we don't even see it anymore? Children, and even adults, these days have lost the pleasures of swimming in lakes and oceans, of camping in the wilderness, of enjoying a bike ride, of climbing a tree, walking in the sand, going for a nature walk or hike, observing the birds and animals and insects. We must teach our children, by example and exploring with them, that nature is beautiful and wondrous and more important than a video game or the internet or television program.
"This is a problem because the way we treat the world around us is a direct reflection of our values and beliefs. Compare the way we treat another species when we believe it is our biological kin rather than just a resource, commodity, or opportunity. The way we see the world shapes the way we treat it, and we will only protect what we know and love."
Let's face it; we are living in some fantasy world, immersed in the illusion that we are actually "content" with our "stuff" tucked away from nature and life. People are becoming increasingly anti-social, and, as humans, we are extremely social creatures. We rape and pillage the earth without regard, consume without thinking for two seconds where it was made and what resources were exploited. We treat animals like unwelcome beasts, whether it's an animal behind bars or the spider that just crawled into your home. We fear nature, from the soil to the living creatures, instead of loving, embracing, being in harmony with, and living amongst it. There is too much money to be made off of destroying the planet instead of preserving it. Which is why we are made to believe it is evil. What then when there's nothing left? Well in this fantasy world we don't need to think about that! Remember, there are no consequences, right? Hopefully you can see that this way of thinking is seriously flawed. It is getting us into deeper environmental turmoil and making us all unhappy beings when we could be prancing around with smiles on our faces playing in the sunshine and grass.
We cannot manipulate the world to our perfected liking. Playing God has only brought us further disaster. We cannot control nature, and in attempting to do so we are disrupting the careful intricate natural balance that doesn't need to be tampered with at all. Nature works for us, giving us real food, fresh air, and renewable resources. Humankind can never replace what Earth does naturally for us. We should not be afraid of the natural world, for it brings us balance, beauty, and happiness naturally. Is it not "infested" with animals and creatures. It is not "wild." It is not "savage." It is beautiful, tame, and so intricately perfectly connected to everything--including ourselves. It does not need "fixing." Our way of life needs fixing. We just need to reawaken to what we already know and feel but have long forgotten. We need to get our hands dirty, play in the soil, hug a tree, grow our own food, swim in its waters, observe animals in nature instead of as prisoners behind bars. We need to reconnect with Mother Earth and return to the natural way of things. Any true wisdom will tell you that true unblinded Happiness comes from letting go of this separation to the natural world and to return to it and be in harmony with it instead of being against it. Money does not buy happiness. Exploiting the Earth does not feed happiness. It is a lack of appreciation, of not being in the Here & Now and not accepting Things As They Are that is causing all of our problems and our depressed states of mind.
Break free from this backwards way of living. Reconnect and appreciate and enjoy and love this world around us. Teach your children to love and respect their planet and the creatures and life that exist here. Teach anyone you can to love the natural world, to live among and in harmony with it instead of making it our enemy. In the end, it's all we really have and all we'll ever need.
Take time out of your every day to be outside, to feel your bare feet in the grass, soil, mud, ocean, or lake. See and experience and explore all the joys that the real world has to offer. Give back and it will return that love to you.
Get lost and find yourself. Reconnect with Nature. Reconnect with your Self.
Peace & Love,
xo

Look up at the sky. Have you ever noticed airplanes passing by that leave behind those long white trails? Have you stopped to think about the way they linger? The way they spread out across the skies? The way they zig-zag and cross over one another in a pattern that would far suggest a normal flight pattern? Have you ever noticed that those "clouds" above us are very rarely real clouds anymore? That there is a white milky haze across the horizon replacing once fluffy puffed up clouds?
I am sad to say that there is a very real, scarey, and daunting reality upon us; we are being sprayed with chemicals on an almost daily basis. They are called Chemtrails, also known as Geoengineering. What is in that spray is aluminum and barium, in concentrations far above safe levels.
Perhaps by now you have hopefully heard about these Chemtrails, or "Geoengirneering." Maybe you think it's some crazy conspiracy theory or that people are just being paranoid. Or maybe you can see the reality. If you still haven't decided, I encourage you to look beyond the surface and see that this threat it very very real, factual, and completely undeniable.
The existence of these chemtrails has been repeatedly denied by government agencies and certain scientists around the world, claiming that these trails are "normal contrails". Ladies and gentlemen, it is time to take a stand and let them know that we are not stupid. Contrails follow behind an airplane for about 20 times the plane's length. Contrails do not linger and leave a hazey mess behind, they evaporate into the atmosphere. They also do not criss-cross in unusual flight patterns. And they do Not leave aluminum behind on the earth below.
If you are still skeptical, perhaps you would like to check your own levels of aluminum in your hair and in your soil? They are elevated all over the world to dangerous levels. Mount Shasta in the United States has 60, 000 times more Aluminum per litre than is safe for human absorption. These glaciers are supposed to be pure, uncontaminated water sources, where hikers make the climb and are drinking this should-be-pure water without knowing it is contaminated with levels of aluminum so high that they are poisonous.
Why are these Chemtrails such a concern? Well, because they are indeed Toxic. Aluminum is associated with cancer and respiratory problems. People with average or below average immunity have reported to experience pneumonia-like respiratory symptoms, while others have been getting very ill. There are many other possible implications through these chemtrail sprayings, such as a possible mind control element as people have reported mental confusion and depression following sprayings. Sadly, this would not be the first time that the government has done something like this as they have had a long history of exposing the public to biological pathogens without their knowledge or consent.
There are many more theories as to why they are spraying...
Solar radiation management: In which the aluminum particles create a barrier between Earth and the sun's solar rays to combat Global Warming. These ideas are solid in the scientific community and have been widely discussed under the name "geoengineering."
Population Control: as these high-levels of aluminum are highly carcinogenic, toxic, and cause numerous health-problems. With continued aluminum contamination we will no longer have clean supplies of water and we will no longer be able to produce organic food. People will no longer be able to grow their own food, and as someone who intends to live self-sustained, this right is being challenged. Crops and the soil cannot survive this contamination and the world will become a place in which only GMO aluminum-resistant seeds can grow. These seeds are already in production. If that is not at least a little suspicious then I'm not sure what is.
Weather Control: It is said that these systems are already being created or are already in place. You may have heard of HAARP before, in which the weather is being manipulated to prevent damaging weather (such as hurricanes, floods, etc), or provoking weather against an enemy or as a means of population control. The reasons behind Why could be widely debated. But, true or not, we have repeatedly tried to play God and it does Not work. When will we learn to let mother nature do as it intended instead of messing up this careful ecological balance?
I can only say so much on the topic of Chemtrails, I highly recommend that you watch "What in the World Are They Spraying" to decide for yourself. And if that still doesn't convince you of how real this chemical spraying is then I encourage you to check out this website with a wealth of information: http://educate-yourself.org/ct/#intro
In the end, the evidence is astounding, and the fact of the matter is this; those standing up against Chemtrails are not trying to gain anything but our right to live freely. We want to live in a free world and not be poisoned and our land contaminated. There is no gain, except freedom. We want a world left for our children, a world where trees and normal life can grow. The opposition is denying these chemtrails that are blatantly in front of our eyes, and going through great lengths to silence this awareness. Government agencies and the "powers that be" are telling people it's nothing but a hoax, a crazy conspiracy, that there is no scientific truth behind it. There is, and there is lots. While some scientists are denying the existence of Chemtrails, others are in wide opposition and are telling us that they are absolutely factual. Simply, they truly cannot be denied. In October 2010, the UN banned Chemtrails and Geoengineering, something that the US chose not to agree to. Furthermore, the US chose instead to expand its geoengineering projects for which hundreds of patents have already been filed. Further geoengineering programs include putting mirrors in space, iron seeding the oceans, planting genetically modified forests, and chemtrailing the skies. All of which are already well underway. The unfortunate part is that the term "geoengineering" is a loose concept with many loopholes in which people will always find a way around, which has led to the continuation of these sprayings all over the world.
They want us to stay sleeping. They want us to keep our eyes blind and not pay attention to the skies. There are many conspiracies growing towards the theory of this "New World Order" which you have hopefully heard about. Numerous historical and current events can be seen as steps in this on-going progression towards world domination through secret political gatherings and decision-making procresses. Whether you believe in this conspiracy or not, one thing is clear; that we the People are losing our rights. We live in a world that is dying and that has been taken over by greed and the all-mighty Dollar.
I have also noticed lately, and heard from other people reporting the same, that they are trying to hide it up. On bright sunny, clear days the sprayings tend to stop. On cloudy days, we can't see them. But people can see them all over the world. In the United States it does seem to be worse, but Canada is not much better, and it tends to depend exactly where you are located. Try paying attention and observing the skies for yourself.
I, for one, want to live in a world where I can be self-sustained, and where money is not the most important thing on the table. I am devastated that we are being sprayed from above. I think it is time we stand up for our rights to clean air and water and food. I think it is time we do something about this. Join the fight and spread the word. If not for you, for the generations to come.
My biggest point right now is to get the message out, so please do the same. As I discover more ways to combat this threat I will let you know. And please check out my facebook page if you haven't already as I share plenty of findings on there as well. The fight is never done until we say it is. I for one have faith in the power of good and positivity and I know that enough people out there will do the same.
Peace & Love,

Why are these Chemtrails such a concern? Well, because they are indeed Toxic. Aluminum is associated with cancer and respiratory problems. People with average or below average immunity have reported to experience pneumonia-like respiratory symptoms, while others have been getting very ill. There are many other possible implications through these chemtrail sprayings, such as a possible mind control element as people have reported mental confusion and depression following sprayings. Sadly, this would not be the first time that the government has done something like this as they have had a long history of exposing the public to biological pathogens without their knowledge or consent.
