What is 700 Birds?

700 birds has been inspired by my experiences over the last year. I have learned more and more about about our world and our stewardship over it. I've been shocked by some of my discoveries. Recently, I have participated in my first petition via the ISF for animal rights after the slaughter of 100 sled dogs in Canada. Completely my first year at a university, I have also been privileged to listen to several lectures delivered by brilliant people about the importance of ecology and stewardship. It's been enough to pretty much hate consumerism and want to pack up and live in the middle of nowhere and go back to the good old days of self-sufficiency. I'm like everyone else. I like my comforts but we are doing so much damage to the environment and to ourselves.

And since I'm still learning so much, I figure why not blog about it so others can too?

Now I don't care if you're vegetarian, concerned about global warming, willing to die to save the whales or not. Regardless of where you stand on these issues, everyone can do more to be informed and more eco-friendly. The fact of the matter is that we should be doing more to take care of our planet.

I'm not going to lie to you. I am by no means an expert and I won't claim to be. I am simply a young college student with a thirst and eagerness to learn more. I've always had a passion for the earth and animals. It is my desire to share that passion and the discoveries I make with others. Hopefully, someone will become as inspired as I have been.

To put it simply, 700 birds is my exploration of the environment, animals, and how we are all connected on this beautiful planet. It is a celebration of life and the Earth as well as your source on information relating to modern ecology and culture.
