Remember, its impotanst to tell the stores why you've
stopped shopping there. Writting leters may make a driffrence. ANd send
copies to your senators and representatives. (Go to www.hsus.org for tips on how
to do that.) Congess is finallt considering legislation to better regulate mills, thanks in part
to a letter-writting campaign.

¤¤Fur-Free Zone¤¤
The Problem:millions of wild animals are farmed and hunted
to make clothing, furniture, and jewels.
How to fix it: Easy-don't buy products made from animals.
Twenty years ago,harp seals were haunted until
they were almost an endangered
species so their skins could be used to make clothing.
Today, they're pretected and their numbers
are recovering. What happened? PAople got angry.
They wrote letters and pretested
-both things you can and should do. But, most
important, they stopped wearing seal.

¤¤No More Cutting¤¤
The problem:Every year, thousands of frogs, mice,and even cats are killed
tobe used in classrooms.
How to fix it:According to the People Treatment of Animals (PETA), many states and school
distrcts have poliscies that allow you to do alternative assignments wiht-out
risking you GPA. There are even sveral computer programs that simulte dissections so you won't miss
out on the lesson.

If your school doesn't have such a policy, tell your
teacher early on thaqt you don't want to participate.
That'll give you time to come up wiht a solution that you're both okay wiht. Confronting your teacher may seem
scary, but remember, you're not alone. Most of the rules that are in place are there because of other kids
who spoke up.

¤¤¤Offer your ear. When you fist realize he's down in the dumps,
ask him if he'd like to talk-but don't harp on it, since guys aren't big on opening up
Just say "I can tell that your upset, and im here for you when you want to vent."

¤¤¤Give him space. If he doesn't take you up on your offer,leave himalone.
Guys often like to solve problems themselves: its matter of pride.

¤¤¤Ask for his help. MAnyt things that make a
miserable-trouble at work,losing a ball game-relate to his masculinity.
By subtly reinforcing his strenght, intellegance, and skills
you can help cheer him up. Ask him to help program your TiVo
or diagnose the strange noise in your car's engine.

¤¤¤Get him to sweat it out. Men like to blow off their
frustration with physical activity. So propose
a gym outing or jog in the park to nix his negativity.

Hope this helps all of you out there that are trying to make you 'spouse' feel better...
