Building wells in impoverished villages is good. Building wells to support your own backyard waterpark? No so much. Here's a peek at a few of our likes and dislikes this week.
A huge “like” goes to Airborne Toxic Event for their new song and video, Neda, a tribute to Neda Agha Soltan. The 27 year-old became an international symbol of the Iranian opposition’s struggle when she was shot and killed by a member of the Basij militia on her way to a peaceful protest in the aftermath of Iran’s disputed election.
The song is available on iTunes, with all proceeds benefiting Amnesty International and their campaign to spread awareness about human rights violations in Iran.
We love a good ballad but have to give a big fat “dislike” to songstress Celine Dion, who recently added a backyard waterpark (complete with lazy river) to her $20 million estate on Florida’s Jupiter Island. Neighbors complained after having their water restricted when she used up the island's entire fresh water supply so she had 6 wells built to supply the 6.5 million gallons of water a year it will require.

Way to waste, Celine. If she’s into building wells, we know a few places that could use her help.
“Like,” no… “love” for eco-crusader Leonardo DiCaprio who has teamed up with The World Wildlife Fund to support their Save Tigers Now campaign.

It’s the Chinese year of the tiger but with tigers in the wild declining by 97% in the last 100 years, they need all the help they can get.
Speaking of big cats, we’re giving a “like” to Bolivia (yes, the country) and another to "Price Is Right" host, Bob Barker for their roles in creating a happy ending for four lion cubs.

Bolivia has passed the world's most comprehensive ban on animals in circuses and although the cubs’ mother had to be euthanized, the cubs will spend their lives at The Performing Animal Welfare Society, a sanctuary built with support from Bob.
Okay, so that’s 3 (or 4) “likes” and just one “dislike” but what can we say? Sometimes you need some good news.
