Fun... Saturdays?

OOPS. I guess I'm doing the fun "Friday" this week! lol, well I'm gonna do a tad bit of a shorter version! I hope you like it! 
REMEMBER WHAT YOU'RE FIGHTING FOR!!

Ohhhh! Aren't they just ADORABLE?!

LIGHTEN UP!!
I think this segment is not unnecessary this week! and maybe next...? lets have a vote to decide!! Comment down below and tell us, do you think this segment is a necessity!?
Let's see!

THE APE ASSIGNMENT!!
This week we would like you to...

• Educate your friends and family about what is going on behind the scenes. Lots of people don't know what is going on behind the scenes in research labs, and we need to spread the word!
• You could do this by:
• Setting your facebook status as "Chimps are our closest relatives, with 98.9% of our DNA. They can feel sad, grief & pain. Yet we use them as test dummies for vaccines, rip babies from moms just after birth, and this doesn't help us! They don't react to disease like we do and it kills them. I know no one would want to die this way and being chimps doesn't make it fair. Make this your status for a day if you dont want to live 50 yrs in a 5 ft cage."
• Make it your signature for emails, texts, fb messages, etc. (not the whole thing of course, but maybe your favorite part!)
• Just flat out telling people! (Always a good method)

Well maybe this wasnt the shortest fun "friday" ever... but that's okay! I ended up writing way mroe than i thought i would! :)
You may be wondering why i have quotes around the word friday! Well it's because i love doing these fun fridays, but i never have time on actual fridays! so i changed the name to fun "fridays" because then i can write it on anyday! for example, today! which is Saturday! :)

Have an awesome week!!! :)

Your activist friend,
aubrey(:())

Fun Friday, Good Friday, EARTH DAY!!!

Happy Friday, blog followers :) Also, happy Good Friday to those of you who celebrate it! And we can't forget, HAPPY EARTH DAY! :) So today, I think we'll get started with some Fun Fridays. By the way, we changed them up a little... have fun!


:LIGHTEN UP :)


Lots of good news right now. We're over half way to migrating our new chimp (we don't know who yet). It's Earth Day! So lots of people will be planting trees (lets end deforestation ;)) and doing other good things for our planet, this is the only one we have! (and the only planet with chimps :))


REMEMBER WHAT YOU'RE FIGHTING FOR!

You are fighting for a chimp like him, you are fighting to migrate a chimp just like him to a sanctuary so he can be happy, and not have to think about his past. It really is an AMAZING cause.

The Ape Assignment(which isn't so Ape-associated this week...)

Since its EARTH WEEK...try to do all of these things to help our planet!

1. RECYCLE! there is no need for plastic and paper to be filling up the landfills!
2. PLANT A TREE! this may sound like a big deal, but planting a tree is a great thing for the environment and may accent that back corner in you lawn quite well... (;
3. SAVE WATER! saving water is a very simple task! You can take shorter showers, use less water when you are doing the dishes, and much much MORE.
4. SAVE ELECTRICITY! make sure to turn off all of the lights when leaving the room!
5. GO VEGETARIAN! meat is really  not beneficial to the planet! already vegetarian?? then try vegan! already vegan?? keep up the good work, the animals thank you!!

The BIG QUESTION:

Do you only focus on helping chimps, or do you try to help all the abused animals? And don't feel bad if you only help chimps, a lot of people don't do anything for the abused animals out in the world, therefore, you are doing more than most!


Our new segment.... the LINK OF THE WEEK!!!

The link of the week this week is....

http://bestfunfacts.com/chimpanzees.html

This website has fun facts about lots of animals, but definitely read the ones about chimps! Some you might already know, but others you may find interesting!!

So you've read the whole post and you are probably wondering WHY IS THE FONT GREEN THIS WEEK???? Well, the font is green because it's earth day and not very many people celebrate, so we are doing our part in spreading awareness! After all, its not every Friday when you get to celebrate Good Friday, Earth Day AND Fun Fridays!!

Happy Easter to those who celebrate!
EVERYONE have an amazing weekend!

Your animal loving friends,
Aubrey + Olivia (:())
