The Endangered Species Act (ESA) was passed by the United States Congress and signed into law
on December 28, 1973 by President Richard Nixon. The ESA was passed as a way to spur comprehensive
conservation efforts that would help to ensure the survival of plants and animals (both vertebrates
and invertebrates) that were in danger of extinction. The act was designed to provide protection to
the at-risk species of plants and animals, along with the ecosystems that those species rely upon
for survival. Under the ESA, there are two categories: threatened species and endangered species.
According to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, threatened species are defined as a species thats
failing to thrive and declining in population, therefore becoming at risk of endangerment in the
foreseeable future. An endangered species is a species that is actively moving toward extinction.
In July of 2008, there were a total of 1,238 threatened or endangered animals protected under the act;
and a total of 747 threatened or endangered plants protected under the act. Both endangered or threatened
species lists are updated daily by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

Which brings us to the next species in line for extinction. Ikenvape is taking a serious stance in protecting
the wildife of Silly bandz.
Silly Bandz come in hundreds of different shapes and colors. On a wrist, they function like a regular
bracelet, and when taken off they revert to their original shape. They are often worn many at a time
and are traded like other collectibles. They can also be used for their original intentas a regular
rubber band. It is not recommended, however, to use them as hair ties.
The original shaped silicone rubber bands were created in 2002 by a Japanese design team who wanted to
introduce a more environmentally-sustainable rubber band as an office product.
Robert Croak, owner of Toledo, Ohio-based BCP Imports (known for distributing the Livestrong
wristbands, encountered the bands on a business trip and decided to re-purpose them as a toy by
making them larger and thicker, and marketing them as a kids' fashion accessory.
We at Ikenvape adopted over 1,000 of these precious creatures in the hopes of giving them a proper home
to our loyal customers. Therefore with every order made by your contributions you will not only have the best
equipment suited for vaping but will also have a chance to foster one of these rubber babies.
Without all of us united to protect this species from extinction. They will all surely die.
Together we Stand, Forever United
