Midway Island Lead a deadly mix for Albatross chicks
Despite being located in the National Wildlife Refuge, the Laysan Albatross nesting grounds at Midway are a lethal nesting ground for over 130,000 Laysan Albatross chicks since jurisdiction of Midway was transferred from the Navy to the Department of the Interior (DOI) in 1996. The chicks are dying from lead exposure.

Here are 52 Stress Reducers for 2010!

1. Enjoy waking up. Get up fifteen minutes earlier in the morning and stretch and breath. Don't just turn on the TV or the computer or open the newspaper. Morning mishaps will be less stressful.

2. Prepare for the morning the evening before. Set the breakfast table. Make lunches. Put out the clothes you or your children plan to wear.

3. Don't rely on your memory. Write down appointment times, when to pick up the laundry, when library books are due, etc. ("The palest ink is better than the most retentive memory."- Old Chinese Proverb)

Ocean Acidification
By Heather Sandison
Since the industrial revolution began about 200 years ago, carbon dioxide released from burning fossil fuels and the production of cement has been released into the atmosphere and absorbed by our oceans. The marine uptake of carbon dioxide has caused a 30% increase in the concentration of hydrogen ions leading to a reduction in surface seawater pH. If current fuel consumption trends continue there will be a 3 fold increase by 2100. Ocean acidification is happening in addition to, and could potentially intensify, global climate change. Action needs to be taken now to reduce this rate as much as possible. We can help by cutting our own carbon emissions. Carpool, drive less, hang clothes on the line, eat less meat, buy local, go solar! The ways you can help are endless! Enjoy Hawaii’s coral reefs and allow protecting them to be your motivation to reduce your carbon footprint!
