Earth Month/Week/Day

[Melody]

April is Earth Month! Earth week is April 16th-22nd, Earth Day is April 22nd.

I know fishkeepers are especially in tune with nature and I hope to see this thread continue throughout the month. Share your thoughts, ideas, news items, articles.... let's really make it an educational month! A special focus on water and aquatic creatures is great, but it all impacts in one way or another so everything goes.

To get you thinking in that direction, here's a few links:

Disney's new movie "Oceans" opened yesterday, and during this first week, portions of tickets sales will go towards saving coral reefs. :thumbup:

It looks awesome.-

I first saw a preview for it a couple of months ago when renting "Earth".

One thing about that movie...

When describing the sighting of one of the papa's, I was half expecting James Earl Jones to say...

Loooook it's his faaaather. :laugh: :spinny:

I posted this on Facebook and forgot to do it here. Tropical Fish Hobbyist Magazine (http://www.tfhmagazine.com/earthday2010/) is doing their Earth Day offer again this year. $1 for a one year electronic subscription until the 25th for new subscribers.

Went to see Ocean's last night, and while I found the narration somewhat lacking in information and dry, the cinematography was pretty spectacular.
Glad I saw it on the big screen. :yes:
