Marty’s photos of the day #4576: This is the Bear Glacier in British Columbia.

Deb and I had planned on visiting the Bear Glacier again […]

Laughable

Orangutans and Oil Palm Plantations
Marty’s photos of the day #4565: I photographed this orangutan on the island of Borneo. Orangutans could go extinct in the wild within 30 years, primarily because of oil palm plantations. So I will tell you what I tell students when I speak at colleges: watch your labels and avoid palm oil! You just might […]
