Free Post #7

     For todays free post I wanted to talk, and bring notice, to something that I have been hearing about more and more lately.  I actually stumbled upon this while looking for "cool facts about zoology" on google to get ideas about other free posts, and I think that I did find something really cool.  For the last few years, Dawn, the dish soap, has become well know for collaborating with the Marine Mammal Center and the International Bird Rescue to help rehabilitate animal that are effected by the humans impact on the environment, specifically oil spills.  It was discovered a little while back that dawn soap is actually one of the only substances that can effectively remove oil covering animals without doing further damage.  I think it is so incredibly cool that something so ordinary can actually save the lives of hundreds of animals a year!!  Dawn and these organizations realize the importance of these animals on the environment, and just in life in general.  I also think it is so good of them to do the educating that thy do because they know how important it is to teach the young kids of the generation that they are responsible for these creatures and the success of the environment in the future.  Dawn is also making a series of short documentaries showcasing the work they have done and all of the incredible animal rescues that have been accomplished.  Over all, I think that what Dawn is doing is really incredible.  For more information on what they are doing, ways you can help, and to see the documentaries,  go to www.dawnsaveswildlife.com.

     Below is a one of the documentary episodes that does a really good job expressing the beliefs and accomplishments:
