People for Puget Sound

People for Puget Sound's new PSA

Funny, direct and a little odd. People for Puget Sound has launched a new video featuring one perturbed Puget Sound fish.  It is a message for the people of earth, and by earth they mean the land, and by the land they mean not the water.  So take a few seconds to check out the video. You won't be sorry.
