Dot Eco LLC is proud to support Roz Savage, the British ocean rower and environmental campaigner, in her upcoming effort to row solo across the Pacific. Roz's boat, the Brocade, will bear the Dot Eco logo on this historic voyage. Roz will also be featured in a video profiling outstanding supporters of .eco including Al Gore, Carl Pope and Roger Moore.

We all need to pull together to take immediate action on climate change. Through .eco we can find each other more easily to combine forces. I'm doing my bit -- rowing solo across oceans to inspire people to action, said Savage, who discovered the .eco project at www.supportdoteco.com.

It's hard not to see the world through the lens of our own preconceptions and biases.  We tend to be more interested in other large mammals.  We're drawn to human-like qualities in pets.  But even the most benign insect is disturbingly alien when seen up close.  We also tend to use the familiar as a metaphor for understanding the unfamiliar.  Sometimes this gives us additional insight.  Other times, it leads us down the wrong path.
