action alert! We don't even know what we're destroying when we mine the ocean floor for copper and gold. Learn What's at Stake Before Allowing Seabed Mining please share it helps!     Dear Arfin, We know more about the surface of the moon than we do about much of the ocean floor. This unknown landscape contains tons of new animals, fish, plants and more that we've never seen and aren't even close to understanding. But we do know one thing about seabeds: Many of them contain copper and gold that mining companies are itching to get their hands on. Digging up seabeds and scraping out precious minerals is sure to have a serious impact on these unique habitats. Yet, there's been very little proper environmental review of mining plans. A Canadian company already got the rights to mine the seabed off the coast of Papua New Guinea. Now, Australia and India are considering opening up their ocean lands to mining too. Before the underwater gold rush starts, we need to make sure that we understand what our mining activities will do to the creatures that live in these areas. Tell the International Seabed Authority to require environmental assessments before mining companies ruin seabeds. Thank you for taking action, Emily V. Care2 and ThePetitionSite Team

Hi Arfin, Happy Halloween! Last chance to send your Halloween eCards! DID YOU KNOW?   Halloween traditions of trick-or-treating and jack-o-lanterns were brought to America in the 1840s by Irish escaping the Great Potato Famine. On Halloween, Irish peasants begged the rich for food and played practical jokes on those who refused. To avoid being tricked, the rich handed out cookies, candies, and fruit - a practice that turned into our present day trick-or-treating. More »
