Today, I donated Php5.00 to WWF for the Save the Butanding campaign thinggy-majiggy. It just popped out of the ATM machine screen when I withdrew cash earlier this day, asking me if I wanted to donate Php5.00 or not. I was rather dumbfounded when I saw it because that was honestly the first time an ATM machine ever asked me for donations of any kind. Was it a scam? I don't really think so. It's a terribly small amount of money, but I guess collectively, those terribly small amounts of Php5.00 can greatly help our beloved whale sharks :-) After attending a talk/documentary viewing (The Cove: A documentary film about the killing of dolphins in Taiji, Japan) and listening to Mr. A.G. Saño, dolphin advocate and WWF Hero, for a school program (LEAP) my eyes were just truly, truly opened to the environmental (and the economical, political, social, etc. etc.) implications of illegal whaling. Just to add: He's actually doing one of those dolphin murals at my school. That is really awesome!
I am not an advocate or anything, but I do love the dolphins :-( I grew up playing with Fishy, my first ever stuffed animal - a blue dolphin, and got another one, Loki, and I have grown to love them ever since.
I truly hope that my meager Php5.00 can do something.
