USA - Thursday, January 03, 2008 at 13:46:58 (CST) I am thankful for all the organizations who are working to preserve the environment. Keep up the exceptional work! Jacqueline Baruch Towanda, PA USA - Friday, December 28, 2007 at 07:45:12 (CST) I am thankful that there is people devoted to saving wildlife and that we can help wildlife in small ways everday. drew neyland Seale, Texas USA - Tuesday, December 11, 2007 at 15:17:53 (CST) I am thankful to see goverments all across the world start protecting large areas of forest from destruction Carl Holmes merseyside, uk - Tuesday, December 11, 2007 at 15:17:37 (CST) I am so thankful for the beauty and the diversity of everything that is part of our environment. And am very thankful for people like you to help initiate ways to help and preserve our beautiful world. Roxanne Hill Marianna, FL USA - Thursday, December 06, 2007 at 10:20:05 (CST) Patrick Moores decision to publicly support and promote nuclear energy as well as his leaving the group he founded, Greenpeace. And anyone else with the stones to publicly say, "I was wrong. Nuclear is safe, clean, natural, CO2 free and the only way we will stop large scale CO2 emmissions." Amanda B. Rekindwyth Blue Ball, PA USA - Monday, December 03, 2007 at 20:39:09 (CST) That the Earth by nature is a temperate/ tropical planet and so I don't have to worry about this global warming nonsense as the climate is merely still recovering from the last ice age( with a little help too!).I am also thankful for all the scientists who have proved this over the years. I am thankful for the marine fossils in the US midwest as they demonstrate that the ocean levels are currently low. I am thankful for oil under arctic regions as that shows, since oil comes from ancient composted jungles, that the poles were once tropical.I am thankful for dinosaur fossils in north Dakota since reptiles don't produce body heat and could not have survived a single Plains winter. I am thankful for evolution which allowed the brown furred bears to turn white as their normal temperate climate became arctic. I suppose I should be thankfiul as well for the existence of albinoism which allowed some bears an advantage in a snowy environment and enabled those bears to breed out their brown fur and become "Polar bears". I am thankful that same evolutionary process will allow them to survive on terra firma as the un-natural ice melts and they become brown again. I am thankful for the mummified human found in the Alps underneath a receded glacier, proving that the glaciers are only a recent feature. And finally , I am thankful for the mountains of documentation we have access to which allows us the right to not believe anything we are told and then disprove those untruths.PS. Thanksgiving?Pilgrims to indians," Thanks for saving us ! This corn stuff is divine! Now we are going to slaughter you and steal your home." YOU ARE ON INDIAN LAND. Yussef Ule milton, ny USA - Monday, December 03, 2007 at 20:28:28 (CST) I am thankful that humans don't live for 200 years.(or more!) Nate Sherulles Walden, ny USA - Monday, December 03, 2007 at 20:06:29 (CST) Nuclear energy and my brain. Only Atom can save Eden! If it works for the sun, then it works for me! 10 billion years of heat and light with no stops to refuel.... Noah Moore Kole new paltz, ny USA - Monday, December 03, 2007 at 20:04:08 (CST) Henry David Thoreau and Edward Abbey. Two men who realized the value of the natural world and tried to tell everyone about it. Thoreau especially as he made acceptable the love of nature over the love of industry and money and what is deemed "success" He shares his wisdom with me every day, and I try to heed his words. If a man walks in the woods for love of them half of each day, he is in danger of being regarded as a loafer. But if he spends his days as a speculator, shearing off those woods and making the earth bald before her time, he is deemed an industrious and enterprising citizen. In wilderness is the preservation of the world. Henry David Thoreau Nature will bear the closest inspection. She invites us to lay our eye level with her smallest leaf, and take an insect view of its plain. Never look back unless you are planning to go that way. Thank God men cannot fly, and lay waste the sky as well as the earth. The squirrel that you kill in jest, dies in earnest. Henry David Thoreau Lou Stewth Highland, ny USA - Monday, December 03, 2007 at 19:54:31 (CST) I am so thankful for the continued protection of tigers throughout the world! I am also thankful for the Save Chinas Tigers program.Alot of people have given up on the south china tiger but not those kind folks.Keep up the good work! Katherine Mulberry, FL USA - Saturday, December 01, 2007 at 21:11:10 (CST) I am grateful that my daughter decided on her own to become a member of WWF this year when asked what organization she would like to join. She is very concerned about saving the tigers and polar bears. I am so glad to raise her in a world where there are groups I can trust like WWF who show her how the world can change with the support of concerned citizens who will do the hard work to do what it takes to give our children a world to enjoy and protect. Thank you WWF! Allison Zafiratos Patten Salt Lake City, UT USA - Saturday, December 01, 2007 at 13:20:12 (CST) This year, I am thankful that we may have finally reached a tipping point in the awareness of global warming and the need to protect our planet -- our air and water, our endangered habitats and wildlife, the natural systems and resources on which all of our lives depend. I am grateful for WWF and other environment/wildlife protection organizations, and for Al Gore and his message to the world, which together are educating people about these issues and inspiring individuals and governments to make changes that can make a difference. Susan La Crosse, WI USA - Saturday, December 01, 2007 at 07:27:20 (CST) One of my fondest memories is riding the bus one day after school on the way home from a trip to a (now defunct) game preserve near my hometown and clasping a WWF pocketwatch from my grandfather in my hand. to this day i don't think he understands the impact it made on me but from that point on i devoted myself to caring for and protecting the animals that are inherently under our watch and have always wondered what i could do to help God's purest creation and i am grateful to WWF and its other members for helping all animals and suporting the cause of animals and proving that they are a worthy cause and deserving inhabitants of the earth!! Erin Healey Rehoboth Beach, Delaware USA - Thursday, November 29, 2007 at 00:26:29 (CST) I am so thankful that WWF exists.

Chris Shepard Sterling, MA USA - Tuesday, November 27, 2007 at 07:36:04 (CST) I am thankful for your not granting licences for coal-fired power plants in Kansas. I wish Texas would follow your example. Robert I Harker Wayne, PA USA - Monday, November 26, 2007 at 20:16:40 (CST) The privilege to enjoy and learn about all nature, wild animals. I am thankful for the duty to help speak out for those animals and wildlife who cannot speak out for themselves. I am thankful I share this world with all of the above. Linda Amad St. Louis, MO USA - Monday, November 26, 2007 at 19:30:35 (CST) I am very thankful that the State of Kansas took the step of rejecting coal refineries. I recently took a trip to British Columbia where I saw dead trees due to the pine bark beetle. The beetle isn't new to that area. It's just killing more trees because winters are milder and many more of the beetles survive. People there told us that it is feared that, should the beetle not be stopped, the evergreen forests of all of N. America could be gone in 10 years. Thank you so much, Kansans. Diane Potter Gardiner, ME USA - Monday, November 26, 2007 at 19:06:48 (CST) thank for : historic agreement protects heart of Borneo, I am so sad to see our forest are gone one by one ninin jakarta, INDONESIA - Monday, November 26, 2007 at 18:49:25 (CST) I am thankful that there are truly good people in this world trying desperately to help those whose voices can't be heard.

Marsha Define Annapolis, MD USA - Monday, November 26, 2007 at 16:02:33 (CST) I used to talk about saving the planet for the future so that my children could enjoy it as I do. My mindset has changed because of organizations like yours. I now talk about saving our environment and animals today, in the NOW because NOW is when help is most needed. Thank you so much for all your hard work and care in saving what I call "the beauty of life." Laurie Clarkdale, AZ USA - Monday, November 26, 2007 at 15:19:59 (CST) I am thankful for the Planet Earth DVD which was a religious experience and awakened me to what a wonderful world we live in and how we must unite like never before to protect it.

I am grateful to have food on my table, clothes on my back, medicine when needed, school for Desiree, and a house to live in; the basic necessities and oh so much more. God has blessed me with great abundance and I am so very thankful. Having this beautiful planet and wonderful creatures is a great blessing. When we moved here, I found we had several bluebirds in residence. I had never seen any! I have many birds of prey flying overhead and have seen deer tracks. I am thankful to all the organizations I belong to because as one; our voices will be heard to protect God's gift of this incredible planet and her creatures. I thank you. And so does Desiree. Many Blessings. Kim Butler Douglasville , Ga USA - Friday, November 23, 2007 at 06:15:44 (CST) I am thankful for the beauty of God's creation as is manifest in nature and the creatures of nature. I am grateful that we have protected wildnerness areas and animal preserves to remind us of the stewardship efforts that have been accomplished and of the need to continue forward in this direction.

Echo Turner Houlton, ME USA - Tuesday, November 20, 2007 at 09:43:11 (CST) I am thankful for the WWF.

And thank you for all that you do! John Tucson, AZ USA - Tuesday, November 20, 2007 at 00:02:57 (CST) I am thankful for organizations such as the WWF that continually strive for longevity in the animal species. If it were not for dedicated organizations and groups that are willing to fight for those that cannot speak, we would have lost ourselves long ago and put into extinction the many living creatures that have helped shape and make this planet habitable for us all. Without the WWF to protect them, I do not think that we would know how important it is to co-exist and find a peaceful way to live together with the wild. Many thanks to the WWF and I will continue to support and spread news about this work. Sara Turner Seattle, WA USA - Monday, November 19, 2007 at 15:30:16 (CST) I am thankful for the WWF and all groups who put time and so much effort into helping our beloved furry friends. THANK YOU!

I'm thankful for the lovely view I get from my kitchen window.

I'm thankful that people are beginning to acknowledge the need for environmental-management approaches that will require alternatives to the concept of "growth-ism" as we traditionally know it. I'm thankful that THERE IS HOPE for a collective awareness that, unless human species numbers are reduced, ALL efforts to curb global warming and its compounding devasting effects, WILL ultimately fail ... simply because the earth has limited amounts of resources (regardless of how much we "re-use, recycle and reduce", per individual). Ross Crouse Bend, OR USA - Friday, November 16, 2007 at 10:31:19 (CST) I am thankful for every living furry and feathered critter on this earth, and I hope every human will learn to co-exist and respect them.

Pat East Hampton, CT USA - Friday, November 16, 2007 at 09:28:08 (CST) I am truly grateful for the power of modern technology that enables organisations like the WWF to pull together the campaigning energy of so many people and focus it on campaigns to preserve the natural world that we all depend on for our continued existence on this earth. I feel that I have been enabled in a way that would not have been possible before the arrival of e-mail and the World Wide Web. Mrs Hilary Victoria Minor Guildford, Surrey UK - Friday, November 16, 2007 at 09:24:53 (CST) The sun, the mornings, the stars, the rainbows, a birds song, a summer breeze, love so strong it keeps me off my knees.

Katherine Ryan Simsbury, CT USA - Friday, November 16, 2007 at 07:31:20 (CST) I'm thankful that WWF sometimes focuses on the positive things being done for the environment, rather than using scare campaigns to get support or attention. Fear is so 1990s. People understand that action is now needed.

Alison Rustington, UK - Friday, November 16, 2007 at 06:14:47 (CST) I'm thankful for the opportunity to share my breakfast with a downey woodpecker this summer. There was a dead tree next to my deck till recently (when I got chopped down). I had breakfast on my deck nearly every morning this summer and, almost every day, I'd watch a downey woodpecker whack away at the tree, munching on the bugs under the bark. Although the woodpecker didn't pay me much mind, I certainly enjoyed his or her company. tom washington, dc USA - Thursday, November 15, 2007 at 15:56:19 (CST) I am thankful for Blue Footed Booby!
