There are stories of selfless actions and generosity in Texas in the wake of the brutal winter storm and the Rethug Governor's deceitful scapegoating. However one story illustrates the importance of paying attention to the life we share the earth with. Volunteers living along the Texas Gulf coast have rescued thousands of sea turtles who were facing death in the icy waters. In just the past few days, the non-profit conservation organization Sea Turtle, Inc. has saved thousands of sea turtles, who are important to the Gulf's ecosystem.
