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, ...
ssbottleco: It’s time to get drastic on plastic!
green | February 27th, 2010 - 10:40 AM
SSbottleco was born with one goal: to reduce the amount of plastic being created and disposed of for the simple act of drinking water. Whether it is concerned about the safety of drinking from plastic, the disastrous effects of plastic on our planet, or the simple logic of saving money, SSbottleco offers a product line that provides a solution to all of them.
Plastic is a problem. Just to make a disposable bottle of plastic water takes 3 times more water than goes in it, a good dose of crude oil and finally a significant amount of fossil fuels to get it from wherever it was bottled into your hand. It costs 10,000 times more a gallon than oil and is often nothing more than purified tap water. To top it all off, only 80 per cent get recycled which means that 38 billion of them end up in landfills a year, taking up to a thousand years to decompose!
Their bottles are made from the very best, food grade, 18/8 stainless steel – the kind you have always used in your pots and pans, sinks and silverware. And unlike aluminum bottles, stainless steel does not require an epoxy liner to be baked on the inside of the bottle, because stainless steel does not leach chemicals.
SSbottleco offers a wide range of competitively priced stainless steel bottles to consumers in an effort to make the switch from plastic an affordable one. But they don’t want their influence to end there. SSbottleco will meet the needs of companies, clubs and events trying to convert to a plastic free setting with the highest quality stainless steel bottles and an easy promotional tool with the ability to custom brand your bottles.
And still, they see their mission as going one step further: SSbottleco will work closely with schools and non-profit organizations, helping to educate and donating significant funds back into their fundraising arms throughout their efforts to reduce their reliance on plastic.
