Getting into hot water January 17, 2007
Across our planet, scientists, businesses, academics and even some politicians and sport enthusiasts are talking about the negative implications of warming temperatures on outdoor recreation and leisure.
The subject of global warming is a hot topic and is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore.
Climate change
The oil industry lobby try to tell everyone that it is nothing more than either normal environmental change or the ranting of eco warriors bent on destroying their business. The green lobby on the other hand tell us global warming will heat our planet on average by 6°C in the next century. It may not sound …

You have got to see this November 1, 2006
Humanity is sitting on a ticking time bomb. If the vast majority of the world’s scientists are right, we have just ten years to avert a major catastrophe that could send our entire planet into a tail-spin of epic destruction involving extreme weather, floods, droughts, epidemics and killer heat waves beyond anything we have ever experienced.
If that sounds like a recipe for serious gloom and doom — think again. AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH is a movie you have just got to see. Check your local cinema. If it is on GO.

Miami to Maine October 20, 2006
The other day we got an email from Margo Pellegrino in New Jersey. She is currently training to prepare for a coastal paddle from Miami, Florida to Camden, Maine set for May 2007.
The objective of this trip is to raise public awareness of the environmental challenges facing our world, and specifically the plight of our oceans. This is her way of taking action at the individual level to help the sustainability of our world. I am very jealous it sounds great.
If you get the chance check out her website, she has set up a personal blog to keep us all …

Hope September 27, 2006
Willy Whitefeather a Cherokee indian, a storyteller, riverman and canoeist, author, healer and outdoorsman who travels the U.S. promoting peace and personal responsibility. His message is that “the power of peace is within each of us” . It’s not a difficult message to understand really. Unfortunately some choose a different message.
Willy Whitefeather currently lives in southern Arizona and seems to be always on the road (or river) conducting workshops with students and teachers about survival in the outdoors.
Here is a video he did entitled Hope. Have a look at it.

Green surfers September 21, 2006
Surfing Magazine have just featured Zoozoo2 in its latest October issue. The feature is all about budding environmental activism in the surfing community and has highlighted Zoozoo2 as one of the surfing new generation of companies looking out for our Mother Earth.
The article starts ‘Our Mother Earth’s condition is deteriorating faster than George Bush’s approval rating. Pollutants continue to end up in our watershed, slowly but steadily destroying our reefs and beaches. When are we going to realize that it’s time we make some changes? Some already have….
Sounds just like something we would say and it is music to …
Dolphin slaughter September 13, 2006
I have just been reading some very disturbing information about the resumption of dolphin capture and slaughter in Japan. I had not realised but it seems Japanese fishermen still kill some 20-thousand dolphins a year and most of us are innocently unaware of this atrocity.
Here is an extract from BlueVoice.org:
Fishermen at Futo have resumed dolphin hunts. Taiji fishermen kill hundreds of dolphins. BlueVoice.org has halted hunts in the past. They are currently in Japan now to end these brutal slaughters forever.
Beginning in October each year a small number of fishermen in villages such as Taiji, Japan begin to hunt dolphins. …
Where did all the rubbish go? September 8, 2006
Our Oceans cover 70 per cent of the Earth’s surface none of which is immune from pollution, as ocean currents transport pollutants to every corner of our planet.
Did you know
70-80% of all marine pollution orginates from land based sources
Every year, rivers and streams transport roughly 25 billion tons of eroded sediment into coastal waters, smothering near shore ecosystems and fouling shallow waters habitats
Plastic waste kills up to 1 million sea birds, 100,000 sea mammals and countless fish each year. Plastic does not decompose easily, so can remain in the ecosystem for many years to kill again and again
Average …
The Big Wild World August 18, 2006
We know the wild world is disappearing.
It’s a sobering thought.
It is why we decided to start ZooZoo2.
It’s why we sell organic cotton and it is why we are always bending your ear about our planet and the bad things we are doing to it.
The truth is we can all make a difference even in a small way. You don’t have to become a full time eco activist, you don’t have to join eco forums and start pounding the pavement with a placard (although I can think of worse ways to spend your free time). Think about …
