Some Cloned Beef with those GMO Vegetables?


For those who thought that genetically modified corn and soy was the worst thing to hit the American diet since corn syrup, comes news that the FDA last month approved the selling of the meat and milk of the offspring of cloned animals...Even if cloning is eventually found to be perfectly safe, there's still many other problems with meat production in America. It's not just the steroids and antibiotics that are fed to the animals that end up in the blood streams of those who consume cows, pigs and other creatures. It's also the quality of meat itself. Not to mention the cruelty inherent in raising animals to be slaughtered for food.

What images sell green better?



Why do coal and cement companies use little kids to spread their message about the wonders of their products? Why does BMW use wind turbines in their ads when their cars do not run on wind? Why do marketers think that hippie imagery sells?
I like the last ad better, just because my dad worked for shell for 30 years. Flowers, children, hippies at the service of those big companies...

Trash Vortex


The "Great Pacific Garbage Patch," or "trash vortex" - essentially a floating expanse of waste and debris in the Pacific Ocean is now covering an area twice the size of the continental U.S. Believed to hold almost 100m tons of flotsam, this vast "plastic soup" stretches 500 nautical miles off the Californian coast, past Hawaii and almost as far as Japan.
The pernicious effects of this "trash vortex" aren't just limited to the marine ecosystem either. Every year, hundreds of millions of nurdles, tiny pieces of plastic, are dumped into or lost at sea, where they eventually make their way into the food chain by acting as sponges for a variety of anthropogenic chemicals (e.g. hydrocarbons and DDT).
