		<title>Black Rhino Officially Extinct; South African Rhino Kill Rate Up in 2011</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It always comes down to cold hard cash, that combined with the cultural heritage excuse.  You know, our ancestors did it, so we continue to do it and the consequences to damned because it's tradition!

Shark finning and killing rhinos for their horns are one in the same hideous unforgivable act.  Cutting off shark fins for soup and killing rhinos for their horns to used for ornamental and pseudo medicinal reasons are barbaric acts of cruelty.]]></description>

		<title>Plastic Bag Manufacturers Playing Hard Ball Suing Eco-Friendly Companies</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Manufacturing plastic bags is big business, make no mistake about that. The inroads that Eco- groups have made getting consumers to switch from single use plastic bags to reusables has not gone un-noticed by plastics industry.

Rather than change their products by producing biodegradable bags that consumers would feel good about using, they have decided to play bully and sue ChicoBag company in South Carolina.]]></description>

		<title>HOW TO SWITCH FROM PLASTIC BAGS TO REUSABLES</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The hardest part of switching from plastic to reusable bags is remembering to bring your bags when you shop! It may take several weeks for you in integrate this new habit into your shopping routine and life style.

Purchasing a Bagnesia steering wheel wrap to trigger your memory to bring those bags with you before you shop will make the switch infinitely easier. Don’t get discouraged and don’t give up. We all forget.

Here’s a great tip. Make sure you put your reusable bags back in your car as soon as your groceries are put away. Trust me, the likelihood you will remember to take your bags with you (the ones you left in the kitchen on a table or on a chair), is remote.]]></description>

		<title>RINGLING BROS CRUELTY TO ITS ELEPHANTS&#8230;THIS TIME PETA IS RIGHT</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I don't like PETA.  No, correct that. What I don't like is PETA's  tactics and messaging.  Their publicity stunts (many extreme in concept &#038; execution) have caused the group to become  a laughing stock to most people. Sadly, their cooked up stunts drowns out the very real topic of cruelty to animals.

This morning I happened on this series of photos about Ringling Bros. using electro shock to train the elephants used in their shows. The more I investigated the angrier I got. It is hard not to knowing about the intelligence of these great animals.

PETA is right on what is happening as it relates to the treatment of elephants by Ringling Bros. Circus.]]></description>

		<title>MORE PLASTIC IN THE OCEANS THAN FISH&#8230; ONE BLUEFIN TUNA SELLS FOR $396,000</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What we're seeing is the product greed, selfishness, and short sightedness on the part of government, consumers, and governing agencies alike.

Combine that with the excessive over fishing of the many species of fish is it little wonder that the one Bluefin tuna would fetch almost $400,000.00?]]></description>

		<title>HOW BIG IS YOUR PLASTIC FOOTPRINT?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What you can do ...

Our thoughtless use and disposal of plastic is helping us kill every form of life.  Fish, sharks, whales, dolphins, porpoise, pelicans, seagulls, etc.; the reefs that support so many forms of life . . . all are negatively impacted by our (unintentional) thoughtlessness.
If  the oceans are to survive it begins with YOU! Remember it's not just a plastic bag.]]></description>
