most (74%) use social networks as a megaphone, announcing events and activities and sharing organization-centric info.

Nonprofits overwhelmingly (88%) said their most important communication tools were email and their websites, even though fully 97% of them are on Facebook. This may have to do with the fact that in their mind, the pinnacle of engagement is a donation (47%).

Proceeds from the sale of merchandise will help support Save The Whales' educational programs.

Through Save The Whales' symbolic adoption program you will learn about orcas (killer whales) in the wild and in captivity.

Proceeds from the kits support Save The Whales education and outreach programs to schools, Whales On Wheels (WOW™)

with an enormous population of plankton, a few whales and a few krill, and slowly but surely the whales will multiply, pooping more iron into the ocean to produce more krill, which produces more whales, then more krill, then more whales, then more krill, until you could support an ocean teeming with whales

He found that on average whale faeces had 10 million times as much iron as Antarctic seawater

." Basically, that's iron concentrate. And strategically emitted — which would have to be up near the ocean surface, where the sun shines — that extra iron would create blooms of phytoplankton, which would then be eaten by krill, leading to a boost in the krill population, leading to ... yes ... bigger whale dinners!

When whales and other large animals flourish in the ocean, they carry a substantial amount of carbon to the sea floor upon dying. Whales and other large marine vertebrates could effectively function as carbon credits

About 160,000 tons of carbon per year could be removed from the atmosphere if whale populations were restored to pre-industrial levels. This amount is equivalent to adding 843 hectares of forest

Restoring the whale populations compares favorably with unproven schemes such as iron fertilization in removing carbon from the ocean surface
