I just got back from a from beautiful Bali, While I was there I researched alot into the facilities for animals as anyone who has been to Bali knows they are not known for their great treatment to animals, I found a great center that looks after the dogs that have been neglected Bali Street Dog Foundation jump on and donate, every penny counts.
I also found this great elephant adventure park up in the Taro forest, where you can ride the elephants for half and hour through the forest and man made lakes, these elephants are well looked after and the park is fantastic.
This is Deli, she is 23 years old, and has been in Indonesia for 5 years.

The strangest feeling sitting on an elephants head!!

After the half hour ride, you can purchase food baskets which come with corn and Pinapple, Deli’s mouth was open from the moment she saw the basket to the last piece of corn! Piglet.

An amazing park and such a memory. Check it out here

This past Tuesday, September 15 during New York Fashion Week, we held our inaugural “Don’t Bag Indonesia’s Rainforest” event at the King of Greene Street location at the Green Shows with Rainforest Action Network. Basically RAN documented over 100 fashion companies that were most likely unknowingly purchasing custom packaging and shopping bags from pulping companies exploiting endangered forests in Indonesia.

Together we reached out to some of our favorite fashion companies (we heart you more for switching shopping bags!!!) and a number of them, including Tiffany, H&M, Levi Strauss, Gucci and others responded immediately and are in the process of tracking their supply chain and converting their paper stock to recycled and certified forests. It’d be amazing if all readers can come out and support the efforts. We’re working on ways that you can be involved so expect updates soon! And in the meantime, enjoy the pictures below and click here if you want more images & information.
