The birds were said to be extremely thin and might have died due to cold weather on their annual migration from Argentine Patagonia to southern Brazil in search of food and warmer weather.

How many more of animals have to die before humans take responsibility for our actions & the impact we continue to have on this once pristine planet?
I'm American & totally owning our role in this tragedy.

HOW do we go from making flat statements about what has happened....dead penguins/over-fishing, climate change to the next part of the problem; the most important part which is HOW are we going to fix it?
For sure there isn't just one answer to the problem, there are, no doubt, multiple things that can work together to make a change in the course of damage being done to the environment.

Clearly, this cannot be left in the hands of governments & oil companies. That's where we are sitting right now...to the very edge of too late.

We have to fix this ourselves.
Smart, caring, inventive people working together to do what needs to be done. We are, undoubtedly, at that APOLLO13 moment where everything we have & everything we know needs to get tossed into a room & let the magic happen with the power of open minds, open hearts & generous gifts of talent & time.

You you guys are already out there doing this...sign me up.
I cannot stand the thought of more people reading articles like this one, shaking their heads & thinking, “that's so sad”... & then moving on.

I have faith in the local people & indigenous people who know their countries, their waters, their people & their challenges.
Surely that's where we start?

And we must start.
I believe in us....all of us...locals, non-locals but mostly I believe in the young people & the power, responsibility & vision they have for their lives & their world.

We must help them in all ways possible...large & small.
We owe it to them.
