Hi everyone,

Besides all that is happening in Venezuela; there is something else happening in my country, Ecuador. In a small part of Ecuador there is Yasuni National Park which is arguably the most biologically diverse spot on Earth. The problem is that the government wants to destroy it forever, to make room for oil drilling. One way to stop it is signing an international petition online, however the petition is in Spanish so it would be easier if you just respond to this email giving me your consent to use your email and your name to sign the petition. (I just need your email and first name)

I’m also taking a picture with a sign saying “We support Yasuni”, so if you want to be in the picture go to Reed (in front of the Stu Bop) on Tuesday after class.

If you’re still not convinced about the idea watch this video or email me with questions.
