  the video is cool, you are cool, but the prize is pretty un-hip:

  "You'll also be entered for a chance to win tickets and airfare for two to the 2009 Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival in Manchester, TN June 11-14."

  isn't the internet's voice of the environment making plane tickets an earth day prize kinda creepy?

  Can we protest or is it a done deal? Does this position have to be confirmed by anyone else?

  Although your conclusion may be correct (I wouldn't know), the issue doesn't seem quite so cut and dry. The NOAA site that Umbra refers us to says this: "Yellowfin tuna are often found in association with various species of dolphin. Some fishermen have taken advantage of this by setting their nets around the dolphin herds in order to catch the large tuna beneath them. In the 1970s, dolphin mortality was estimated to be hundreds of thousands of dolphins per year. Now, after continued research, improvements in fishing gear and techniques, and adoption of international agreements, dolphin mortality has been reduced to under 1,000 dolphins annually. For more information, see NOAA's www.dolphinsafe.gov." (my bolding)
