Hi, I live in Austin, and there’s this place right outside of Austin that have these really amazing asian elephants, but there making them do tricks, and shows for people. All the trainers have a bullock in their hand, which they refer to as a “guide” for the elephants. I really want to help the elephants, but I’m not sure how. Any ideas???

Good news! Our school board passed the climate resolution unanimously! If you want to see what it looks like (so that you can maybe get your own school board to pass one) here’s a link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1mZp_S1JuoYmdm41bH6JOZ0Jua5gtwfHD/view?usp=sharing

Did you know that every minute, a small city block’s worth of trees in Canada’s majestic boreal forest is clearcut by one company? It’s probably one you know, too. Procter & Gamble, which own the toilet paper brand Charmin, is doing this. And these trees are old growth, meaning that they are especially good at stopping climate change. The forests…[Read more]

We were also super honored to be filmed in a short documentary. Thank you to the Central Valley Foundation for providing the grants to make 10 of these local films! If you want to watch the 5-minute film about us, look up Kaweah Kweens on youtube or go here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8bv6bf6Gro

Heyyy! 🙂 New idea for something you can do at your school if you haven’t already: go to your school board or student council and ask/talk to them about creating a climate resolution. A climate resolution is basically where the members (president, secretary, treasurer, etc.) sign to say that they acknowledge that climate change is real, but that…[Read more]

Hi all, if you’re looking for another way to help stop deforestation, look at the toilet paper that your family uses. A lot of common brands such as Charmin, Ultra Soft, and Cottonelle cut down a lot of trees and use no recycling to make a lot of their toilet paper. Other brands such as Seventh Generation and more use recycled paper or bamboo,…[Read more]

Hmm… Are they hurting the elephants with the bullock? That sounds like a problem. If they are hurting the elephants, there may be laws in Texas against that. You might be able to report them, but only if they’re breaking the law. Other than that you might just talk to the trainers about them and learn some more about what’s happening. Maybe you…[Read more]
Thanks so, so much, I’ve had no ideas on what to do about that, I will definatly do some research. I’ll keep everyone updated. Thanks again!
Dear Ecopat, I am so glad you have ideas! But unfortunately there is no humane way to train them. 😔
