Shrimp season worst in recent history!
“I've been in the shrimp processing business for 34 years, and this is the worst fall shrimp season I've ever seen,” said Danny Babin, general manager of Gulf Fish Inc. in Houma, who will be representing parts of Houma, Grand Caillou and Dularge on the Terrebonne Parish Council next year. The poor shrimping this year has been acknowledged by BP claims czar Ken Feinberg, who announced last month that he would double payouts for fishermen who have not yet resolved their claims. Shrimp and crab harvesters and processors will receive four times their documented 2010 losses from now on. Dean Blanchard, a ...

Shark Slaying!
Every year tens of millions of sharks die a slow death because of finning. Finning is the inhumane practice of hacking off the shark's fins and throwing its still living body back into the sea. The sharks either starve to death, are eaten alive by other fish, or drown (if they are not in constant movement their gills cannot extract oxygen from the water). Shark fins are being "harvested" in ever greater numbers to feed the growing demand for shark fin soup, an Asian "delicacy". Illegal Shark Finning in China! Not only is the finning of sharks barbaric, but their indiscriminate slaughter ...
Ten Thousand Massed at Foley Square… New York is alive! #occupywallstreet
At 3PM, thousands of students, workers, and other supporters gathered in Union Square chanting "Shut the city down!" and using the People's Mic to share stories of how banks and corporate greed have impacted the 99%. Simultaneously, Occupiers took to multiple subway stations in all five boroughs. Students chanted "CUNY should be free!" and "Student Power!" as they took to the streets along 16th and 5th Avenue, shutting down traffic and leaving police powerless to respond. Police attempts to erect barricades along 5th Avenue failed to block the march, as banners reading "OCCUPIED" were seen along New School buildings. Now, massive crowds ...

Rerip: Recycling and Reusing Surfboards
The Springwise Newsletter informs us all of another awesome recycling/reuse idea: Keeping surfboards out of landfills with recycling and reuse. We've seen efforts focusing to varying extents on each of the “3Rs” of waste management — reduce, reuse and recycle — but we couldn't resist mentioning one more that recently caught our eye. It isn't brand new, but California-based Rerip is a site that aims to help surfers resell, exchange and recycle old surfboards. Polyurethane, epoxy resin and expanded polystyrene are among the harmful compounds used to make surfboards today, Rerip points out. For that reason, its mission is “to create accountability, ...

Pipa the Talking Recycling Can
When you are visiting Disneyland keep an eye out for the PUSH talking trash can and PIPA the talking recycling can.
PIPA: The Talking Recycling Can:
Reduce, Reuse and Recycle! Don’t dump it, recycle it! What better way to give the GREEN message to visitors at Disney World, than the talking recycling bin, named PIPA. She will roll around chatting and hoping to convince people to put some cans or bottles into her mouth! Pipa the Talking Recycling Can is at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Orlanda Florida in the Rafiki’s Planet Watch themed area. PIPA tries to encourage guests to recycle and can hold recyclables, roam around and carry on conversations with guests. Thanks to YouTube and swissyodelman

PUSH: the Talking Trash Can.
PUSH is an actual Tomorrrowland trash can and is so named because of the large word “PUSH” found on either flap. This is a radio controlled robot which makes occasional rounds throughout Tomorrowland inside the Magic Kingdom theme park at the Walt Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, and more recently at Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California, Tokyo Disneyland in Japan, Disneyland Paris in France and Hong Kong Disneyland.
Push the Talking Trash Can
Sometimes we all talk rubbish and this is especially true when you are in conversation with PUSH, the talking trash can. He is very keen on keeping the park clean asking visitors to help out and wants your empty drink cup or dirty napkin. PUSH is part garbage can part audio system. Â He does not have a microphone in him so the one who controls PUSH has to stay very close so he can hear the questions. Look for a man who has his right, most of the time, hand in a bag and looks as if he is biting his fingernails. That is how he can talk to the guests.
Next time you visiting a Disneyland Park check if PUSH is also there and save your trash for this talking trash can or check around the Rafiki’s Planet Watch themed area Animal Kingdom, Orlando, Florida for PIPA to give her your recyclables.
