World Wildlife Fund/Toys for Tots

Adopt an animal from the World Wildlife Fund, and you will get a cute plush toy version of your animal. Every donation you make to WWF helps save some of the world’s most endangered animals from extinction and supports WWF’s conservation efforts. We think this is a fabulous way to encourage conservation efforts, by encouraging a love of animals in children! And if you can’t think of a good benefactor for your stuffed owl, wolf, chimpanzee, or polar bear, you can donate your stuffed toy to a needy child through WWF’s toys for tots program. $50 from World Wildlife Fund

Sam’s Club recalls Cargill-made hamburgers in U.S.

(…and people ask me why I don’t eat meat…especially under a Republican administration, which believes in the ”Free Market” not government inspectors)

CHICAGO (Reuters) – Sam’s Club is pulling frozen hamburgers made by agribusiness giant Cargill Inc. from its stores shelves across the United States as Minnesota health officials  investigate four cases of E. coli associated with the burgers.
In A Statement Dated Friday, Sam’s Club Owner WalMart Stores Inc said the warehouse club is removing the American Chef’s  Selection Angus Beef patties from U.S. locations and giving refunds to customers  who already purchased the burgers.
All four cases of E. coli being investigated occurred in children, the Minnesota  Department of Health said in a statement. The cases are associated with eating  ground beef patties purchased from Sam’s Club stores in late August and  September.
