Turtle Talk

Conservation begins at home. Everything we do has a downstream effect. What can you do? There are so many ways you can help just at home. You can recycle, turn off lights and fans when you are not at home, conserve water, support local farmers who do not use pesticides or chemicals that harm our environment, reduce your carbon footprint, BYOB (Bring Your Own Bag) when shopping, pick up trash, plant a tree, write your congressmen and urge them to support environmental issues, adopt a sea turtle at www.oceana.org, and donate to the Sea Turtle Hospital, www.seaturtlehospital.org. You can make a difference even if it is just one person.
