SAN FRANCISCO—The executive director of San Francisco-based environmental group Rainforest Action Network has died in a swimming accident at a beach near Mexico's Pacific coast resort of Puerto Vallarta, police said Friday.

Rebecca Tarbotton, 39, was swimming Wednesday at a beach about a half hour north of Puerto Vallarta when she was caught by a wave and tossed around, said Adan Leyva, spokesman for Puerto Vallarta municipal police.

Leyva said that paramedics tried to revive her after she was brought ashore, but she was dead by the time she reached the hospital.

In a statement on its website Friday, Rainforest Action Network said Tarbotton—who friends called Becky—was travelling with her husband and friends.

That’s one way to limit your CO2 emissions.

Happy New Year

Tarbotton? Good grief. That’s a real name?

Maybe Mother Nature got tired of all the lies and decided to slap down Tarbotton. It’s not nice to fool Mother Nature.

How come the environmentalists get to jet off to all parts of the world?>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Thanks to the presidents Executive Orders which circumvent Congress, the representatives of the people, the EPA now does things according to executive fiat. Obama has created a new elite by his executive orders, and they get to make businesses suffer and jump through hoops,jet around while we ordinary “Amerikans” get to play at being peasants to the new regime. Its just that simple.

If the late, departed Ms. Tarbotton had bothered to consider the nature of shoreline wave action, perhaps she would still be with us today.

Just because you profess to love mother nature, doesn’t mean that mother nature will love you back.

In fact, she can be a real bitch sometimes.

“How come the environmentalists get to jet off to all parts of the world?”

They have 4 generations of rat folowers that were trained with your tax dollars funding public schools!!

The only cure is to make public education illegal!

Next thing you know, somebody will start complaining of Obama flying to Hawaii and back and then back and back again.....Soon the environmentalists will demand that an EPA permit will be required to own an internal combustible engine.Either Congress puts a stop to the EPA power grab or we might as well return to caves,

We just don’t care anymore do we?

I know I don’t. I actually thought “good. One less liberal”

Kind of sad, what liberalism has forced us to face, forced us to become.

The oceans are obviously dangerous and should be drained immediately.

I used to hang out at those beaches in my earlier incarnation. Hard to believe you could screw it up bad enough to drown.
