Recently, Divester and other sites have been protesting Amazon's selling of shark fin and fin-related products:

Happily, Wetpixel moderator shawnh recently noted that all shark fin products have been pulled from Amazon's grocery catalog. High five! If you took the time to send an email to Amazon or leave negative feedback on the page for any fin products, congratulations! You did something good this week.

If you didn't take the time to leave feedback, but you still want to take credit for something, you can send an email to Amazon imploring they take a public stand against he trade of endangered species. If you don't know exactly how to phrase it, shawnh has provided a passionate script for you to copy and paste into your email client. All you have to do is enter the addresses, and hit Send.

Who says blogs are useless? I didn't see any mainstream media outlets reporting on Amazon's environmentally un-friendly practices.
