Awesome Book: “Plastic Ocean”

Last night, I finished reading the book, Plastic Ocean, by Capt. Charles Moore.  I wish the book didn’t end!  I wanted him to continue revealing more incredible information.  Let’s just say, I look forward to reading more from Capt. Charles Moore.

Collection of ‘TED Talks’ Videos

‘TED Talks’ are awesome!  Passionate individuals present “ideas worth spreading”. Recently, I watched ‘TED Talks’ episodes which were organized into a themed collection.  The collection was called, “Chew on This,” with perspectives on food from scientists, chefs, farmers, and foodies.  I enjoyed listening to the many perspectives, ideas, and solutions about food issues.

Gardening without plastic!

Do I want to grow food? Definitely. Do I want to avoid plastic? Absolutely. Okay, I’ll admit that I’m a bit late in the gardening season to start growing seeds.  No matter, every day counts so I’m going to plant them anyway.  It’s not crucial to start seeds indoors but I think the herbs will benefit [...]

Please, why can’t we just reduce?

I spent 10 minutes staring at milk in the grocery store this morning. Ten minutes worth of dilemmas: Soy or dairy?  Is soy milk more environmentally friendly than dairy milk?

The following quotes are from the Algalita Marine Research Foundation “Use of plastic materials reached approximately 100 kg per year per capita in North America and Western Europe in 2005 and is expected to increase to 140 kg by 2015.” “Every year large amounts of plastic debris enter the ocean, where it slowly fragments and [...]

Chemical industries deliberately(!!!) conclude insignificant health effects of BPA

I was listening to a podcast called “Skeptically Speaking” and an interesting point about industry bias was mentioned regarding bisphenol A (BPA).  You’ve likely heard about BPA when it was widely popular in the media since “Canada was the first country in the world to declare that it intended to label BPA a toxic substance.” [...]

Breathtaking – majestic and tragic

The following is quoted from http://www.midwayjourney.com/ in support of their documentary film and incredible activism. “We are at a mid-way place.
