10 shirts added to the Ban T-shirts blow out sale!
Limited stock available.
I've always been an opinionated person, I never fitted into any of the "slots", "categories" or run-of-the-mill jobs that "they" expect us to fit into. I just couldn't accept being a cog in the system. Some people turn to rock and roll, some turn to crime, some turn to drugs. I turned to T-shirts. They are a wonderful artistic medium. They satisfy my creative urge and they allow me to express my opinions to a vast number of people. They help me get "my" agenda out there. "My" agenda is really just what is good for the planet and all its inhabitants (human, animal and plantlife). I hate bureacracy, I hate politicians and I hate those that believe we are there to serve them. I love people who try to make things better with an open heart. Part of me is a hippy, part of me is just mad as hell. My website is Ban T-shirts (www.bant-shirts.com). Ban T-shirts is where rage and T-shirts collide.

Support vital legislation for our oceans
Last week I was in London taking part in a mass lobby of MPs at the House of Commons about the Marine and Coastal Access Bill organised by 4 of the UK's leading wildlife conservation groups. This is a landmark piece of legislation that should be a real benefit to marine life in British waters - it is the first time, anywhere in the world, that such an ambitious law has been proposed and fortunately it has cross-party support. However, as with any law, the wording of the bill is extremely important. Three specfic points have been highlighted for ammendment before the bill becomes law:
- The inclusion of a clear duty to designate Marine Conservation Zones (MCZs) for the protection of the full range of marine wildlife or habitats.
- Amendment of the Bill to ensure that individual MCZs contribute to an ecologically coherent network of marine protected areas, which must also include ‘highly protected' sites.
- The removal of the clause that states socio-economic factors (such as fishing) can be taken into account when deciding whether or not to designate an MCZ.
- The inclusion of a clear duty to designate Marine Conservation Zones (MCZs) for the protection of the full range of marine wildlife or habitats.
- Amendment of the Bill to ensure that individual MCZs contribute to an ecologically coherent network of marine protected areas, which must also include ‘highly protected' sites.
- The removal of the clause that states socio-economic factors (such as fishing) can be taken into account when deciding whether or not to designate an MCZ.
The importance of this bill canot be overstated. The rest of the world is watching the UK on this issue. Hopefully other countries will follow the UK's example and pass bills which result in the creation of their own marine nature reserves. Conservationists and activists have been working towards this for many years, it is important that it is a success.
If you live in the UK, please write a personal letter to your MP and let him/her know that you support and care about the marine bill and that you want it to be as effective as possible. Mention the areas of the bill that need improvement. It's OK to send an email but we were told at the lobby (by an MP) that personal letters are much more effective. Find your local MP's details here:

Even if you live outside the UK you can help by writing to Mr Hilary Benn (Secretary of State for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs), let him know the world wants the UK to lead the way on marine conservation. His contact details are here:

You can also contact the government team working on the bill at this email address: MarineBillTeam@defra.gsi.gov.uk
Please help out with this campaign. If you only write one letter this year, do it for this campaign!

eBay selling shark fin
Yep, eBay are also selling shark fin, or should I say "facilitating the selling of shark fin". It's the same guy who sells through Amazon. Seems he's found himself a nice little niche.
After a bit of searching on the internet I found some real addresses you can use to contact people that matter at eBay. I'm tired of filling in their silly little forms that try and guess what you want to contact them about.
So this is the link to the shark fin product on eBay.
And these are the email addresses to write to:
exec.relations@ebay.com (eBay Executive Relations)
matthewb@ebay.com ( Matthew J. Bannick, President, eBay International)
government_relations@ebay.com (eBay Government Relations Department)
billcobb@ebay.com (President, eBay North America)

Amazon sells shark fin
I just sent this letter to Amazon. I urge you to write to them also.
I was appalled to find out today that Amazon is selling real shark fins:
Millions of sharks are being killed each year at a completely unsustainable rate. Many species of shark are now in danger of becoming extinct due to the rise in demand for shark fin soup. This is having a detrimental effect on ocean ecology and is likely to have serious and unforeseeable consequences for all life on Earth.
I spend a great deal of my time trying to increase awareness of this problem, and it is extremely disheartening to come across instances such as this. Unfortunately this is not the first time that Amazon has sold shark fin products - you have previously sold such products through third-party vendors Roland, Pacific Rim Gourmet, VitaminLife, and Seagate. Several of these products have been removed - I would like to know what Amazon's policy is on selling shark fins. Why don't you ban ALL shark fin products? If not, then why not sell bear paws, or lion skin? What's the difference? They're all animals in danger of extinction.
Up until now I have been a loyal customer of Amazon (in the UK). However I will not buy any more products from you until you tell me that Amazon has decided to become a responsible company and stops selling body parts from dismembered endangered species such as sharks.
You will be interested to know that I have a popular website which receives over a 150 visits per day from where I organise campaigns to protest against companies and organizations involved in shark finning. As well as this I maintain a MySpace anti-finning page which has over 3,200 friends. I will be actively encouraging all my friends, subscribers and visitors to boycott Amazon until a satisfactory response has been received from Amazon.

Che Guevara to be banned in Hungary
Che's image could be banned in Hungary
It seems the Hungarians think Guevara is comparable to Hitler. Granted they had a bad experience with communism, but I think what went on in Russia and the Eastern Block cannot be compared to Latin American communism.
