Stop the Sale of Manta Ray Leather E-mail

Oceana: "Manta rays are threatened with extinction, but that doesn't stop businesses from selling their parts. Alibaba.com, the world's largest business-to-busness commerce website, sells boots and wallets made out of manta ray leather. This is inexcusable, and they should know better.

Three years ago, Oceana activists joined other conservation groups to successfully petition Alibaba.com to stop selling shark products. Now we're calling on you again. We need your help to tell them the world is watching, and they need to stop selling products that threaten ocean species. We did it once—we can do it again. Sign today, and tell Alibaba.com founder and CEO Mr. Jack Ma to be an ocean leader and stop selling manta ray products." >>>Take Action

Unplug appliances when not in use. Your electronics—computers, TVs, phone chargers—use energy even when they're turned off. Stand-by power can account for as much as 20% of home energy use. Save both energy and money by unplugging your devices, or put them on a power strip that you can turn off when they are not in use.  More tips...
