Protecting our Babies and Belugas from Arctic Drilling - by Raffi Cavoukian For 40 years I’ve been a children’s troubadour, best known for “Baby Beluga”—a song I’ve shared in concert with fans all across America. To this day, kids continue to inspire me. They speak freely from the heart, expressing pure joy, calling out an injustice, or asking a question. And they ask the best questions! Thinking of my young fans, I reacted strongly to a critical decision made this week affecting the fate of … [Read more...]
Celebrating Earth Day with the ClimateStore!
Happy earth day everyone!!! How will you celebrate? This tree hugging gal will most likely celebrate by digging in some dirt and planting some things...pretty much what I have been doing all week.

On a larger scale, beyond my own backyard … [Read more...]
Obama Outlines National Plan for Climate Change – Is it Enough?

My EPIC Movie Premiere Experience and Review

I simply adore these ladies! It's always exciting when a new eco themed movie comes … [Read more...]
My Experience with the Forward on Climate Rally in DC
This past weekend I had the great pleasure of attending the largest climate change rally in the history of the US. Some are saying it ended up being one of the largest environmental rallies in history as well. It was a humbling experience to march on Washington and stand united with others who share my concern for the environment and my frustration that progress on climate change has been virtually nonexistent. It was a doubly wonderful experience because I was able to take my 12 year old son … [Read more...]
