Sustainable Fish Farming

See video here.

Imagine you are a Bluefin Tuna and you just woke up in excitement from your bed hidden behind flakey leaves of coral because you are going to visit a place that you used to always swim when you were little with your parents and before one dreadful night when you were three and your parents had been fished and most of the fish in the seas had been overfished by a few fishermen.

Get a pet other than a fish

See video here.

Do you know how many people have fish?  I do.  Over a dozen.  I do not want to be one of those people.  Why don’t they just realize what other pets can do.  For example this video- (video)- a fish could never do what that cat did.

Eminent Domain

See video here.

Problem: Sometimes the government takes people’s property – homes or businesses – and it tries to claim that the Constitution allows it, but it really doesn’t. The constitution allows taking property for a “public purpose” like public roads, public airports, or public schools, but that’s all.  The Supreme Court misruled on this a few years ago and now allows states to take private property to give to other people for non-public projects like luxury condominiums and fancy shops.

Stop Global Warming

See video here.

Good Afternoon. I am here to persuade you to change the world. Now, you’re probably thinking “well Anaya, I’m nothing. I can’t change the world.” Actually, you can. First, you need a problem. I’ll give it to you.

Be Yourself

Save the Rainforest

See video here.

Each passing year, billions of acres of trees are cut down, sending many animals to the brink of extinction because of loggers.  Over three million species of the rarest and strangest animals live here.  Some Indian men (loggers) use elephants to log.  The elephants don’t clear out big spaces in the rainforest, they log trees far apart so it does not affect the forest.  This is a great solution, but if everybody started doing this, I’m afraid people would whip and abuse the elephants.

Save Black-Footed Ferrets


Picture this: it’s winter and it’s snowing.  A black footed ferret peeks out from his hole, cold, hungry, and lonely.  His mom, dad, and friends are all dead because they had no food to eat.  This is what is happening in North America.
