teamBPAL and the Sea Turtle Restoration Project
In the last three weeks, we've put together, and completed, a design challenge for charity. The theme was the ocean/gulf and the surrounding areas. We've now got 22 items listed, and they're all rather amazing!
Alicia posted the following to our blog (teambpal.blogspot.com), and she said it better than I could, so I'm pasting it here.
TeamBPAL is happy to announce our first-ever team sale, and this one is for a good cause: every item currently at teambpal.etsy.com will benefit the Sea Turtle Restoration Project (seaturtles.org) which is providing aid to the sea turtles affected by the BP oil spill in the Gulf.

The Sea Turtle Restoration Project fights to protect endangered sea turtles in ways that make cultural and economic sense to the communities that share the beaches and waters with these gentle creatures. With offices in California, Texas, Costa Rica, and Papua New Guinea, STRP is leading international efforts to protect sea turtle populations worldwide. STRP is a project of Turtle Island Restoration Network, a 501c3 organization.
Sea turtles are a window into how we treat our oceans and our environment. The same factors that are causing declines of sea turtles - unsustainable fishing, coastal habitat destruction, pollution, and overconsumption of natural resources - are the same ones contributing to the decline of our oceans.
Protecting sea turtles is more than just about protecting these gentle creatures, it is also about returning to balance with the natural world.
Please help TeamBPAL support this cause while treating yourself to some lovely handmade items!
If you can't purchase anything, please at least pass the link on.
