Dear ILs, greepeace.org is doing a great job to save endangered Olive Ridley Turtle... I've just written to Mr.Ratan Tata asking him to not to go ahead with building a port in Dhamra, Orissa, dangerously close to one of the world's largest sea turtle nesting grounds for the Olive Ridley Sea Turtle. I think its a good idea for Mr. Tata to move the port to another location rather than endanger the turtles. By living up to the Tatas' environmental legacy, Mr.Tata won't just save the highly-endangered Olive Ridley Turtles, he will also end up making Tata a better company. need help from lots of people, especially you, please do what I've done. Write directly to Ratan by clicking here regards, Anu
Anu, I wrote to Tata.. Hope it makes a change after seeing all the letters from the people like us... sriniketan
Dear Sindhu, Srinikethan n Puni, Thanku ladies....i too hope that our ltrs make a change.... love, Anu
Dear All, Thank you for your support. A mail received from Greenpeace today says that the campaign to protect the highly-endangered Olive Ridley Turtles is finally showing results. As of this morning, over 70,000 Tata customers just like us have written to Ratan Tata, telling him the destructive port in Orissa must stop. <script><!-- D(["mb","\u003cbr\u003e Over the past three days and nights, Greenpeace activists have taken your messages directly to Tata in Mumbai, and used high-powered projectors to display them on Tata offices.\u003c/font\u003e\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cfont face\u003d\"Verdana\"\u003e\u003cfont size\u003d\"2\"\u003e \u003ca name\u003d\"11a05c323cc0b72c_www_greenpeace_org_india_turtl(1)\" href\u003d\"http://links.mailing.greenpeace.org/ctt?kn\u003d3\u0026amp;m\u003d96245\u0026amp;r\u003dMzg5NjczNjMxS0\u0026amp;b\u003d0\u0026amp;j\u003dNTIzNTY3MAS2\u0026amp;mt\u003d1\" target\u003d\"_blank\" onclick\u003d\"return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)\"\u003e \u003cimg alt\u003d\"Turtles projection\" name\u003d\"_tataprojection.jpg\" align\u003d\"left\" border\u003d\"0\" height\u003d\"180\" hspace\u003d\"3\" vspace\u003d\"0\" width\u003d\"263\"\u003e\u003c/a\u003eMeanwhile, every day, seven new blogs mention their support for this campaign.
