Kermit the Frog may be right in saying “it isn’t easy being green” but what he forgot to mention is that it sure is fun and rewarding.  Understanding the importance and value of conservation and sustainability is key to the protection of our environment and its fragile ecosystems.  In recent history, global warming has become hot topic and people are becoming more aware of the role climate change has on ecosystems around the world.  Throughout history, there have been many noted environmentalists as well as many examples of ecosystem and species rebounding from near extinction due to a variety of conservation efforts.  Being eco-aware is the first step in going green and making the world a cleaner, safer and healthier place for our animals.

“It was not until we saw the picture of the earth, from the moon, that we realized how small and how helpless this planet is – something that we must hold in our arms and care for.” – Margaret Mead
