There are many environmental causes I (Tom Friedel, birdphotos.com editor) feel strongly about. I hope to find time to fill this page with information and things you can do. Although I love birds, I feel strongest about the decimation of the life in the oceans. Shark finning for shark-fin soup and long line fishing top the list of most evil practices. Long line fishing is also killing an extimated 40,000 albatross every year. I donate to Sea Shepherd, an organization which patrols the oceans confronting illegal fishing boats.

Follow these steps to receive less junk mail, and please recycle everything you can.
