Blue Whale Bones - SB Museum of Natural History 2

Buh-bye Blue Whale Version.

(Well...it's only for restoration....he'll be back.)

Years of exposure to the elements, coupled with over-zealous visitor “touching,” has caused widespread damage to the skeleton, with large sections of its protective coating sloughing away from the delicate bone underneath. The skeleton had become so fragile, according to officials, that not long ago the museum restricted visitors from walking through and around it for fear of possible breakage and visitor injury - SB Indy

We're only thinking about easing automobile traffic. We're not thinking about the "traffic" passing by in the Santa Barbara Channel. Dolphins. Sharks. Fish. Lobsters. Crabs. Sea Lions. And, the most amazing of them all.....the whales!



Oil drilling and spills not only destroy the local economy and the various neighborhoods in town....they also harm our beloved neighbors in the sea.

Sorry to get a little "preachy"....but this is a hot button issue and not many consider the wider effects of our inability to conserve more, use less and go for "quick fixes" to our problems.

April 28th and 29th national days of action

Last year alone, well over 1000 whales died for profit. although most of the world supports the protection of whales, a few countries are trying to open the seas to widespread commercial whaling. In may of this year, the International Whaling Commission will meet on u.s. soil, to discuss the fate of the whales. No government is better placed to help bring this unsustainable and inhumane industry to an end than the U.S., but we need your help to make it happen.

What a great way to spend a weekend.....bake sales to save the whales. Sign up here at Greenpeace to organize a bake sale, and recruit friends to help.

Find a bake sale near you and go do something yummy for the world. I'm looking to set up a bake sale here in Santa Barbara...just have to find the right yard to "set up shop"
