Send An Origami Whale From Greenpeace

Greenpeace Australia is running an extremely cute campaign against Japanese whaling where one gets to make an origami whale and send it swimming to the Japanese Prime Minister. Much easier than actually learning origami!
If you want to send a whale you have to enter an Australian Postal Code-they are four digits long.Due to popular demand they have added an "I don't live in Australia" checkbox. ::Greenpeace via ::Notcot

Just an update... We've had lots of international interest in our little origami pod, so we've just made the site go global!
So now everyone can sign the petition and make their own whale!
