Have you heard of this campaign? PLUCKFASTIC - genius!

"pluckfastic: an exclamation in response to someone using a reusable or biodegradable alternative to disposable, single-use plastic."



Another campaign I am in full support of: SHRIMP SUCK 
WHAT? I know, I know....I like eating shrimp too, but did you know?

"WHY SHRIMP SUCK?

Shrimp is the #1 seafood in the U.S.

But, eating shrimp can be among the worst things you can do to the ocean and to coastal communities.

Trawling for shrimp catches + kills more sea turtles than any other human activity.

Bottom trawling and farming for shrimp can destroy the ocean.

Seriously, you don't want to be a part of that." - from Shrimp Suck website



It is the winter of styrofoam. I have one thing to say about sytrofoam: I AM FREAKIN' SICK OF IT! 



I'd like to talk about Michael Sprague. This is what his description reads on Twitter: 


"WATER HOLDS A KIND OF MAGIC. IT CALMS US. IT LIFTS UP. ULTIMATELY IT SUSTAINS US."


 His company is called Trout Head Waters. They are all about river, stream and wetlands renewal.

    I do love shrimp.... but ever since I read "Eating Animals" I've been very specific about where I get my shrimp (local fishermen) and how often I eat it (not very)... in the book he compared what trawling for shrimp does to the ocean floor to clear cutting a rain forest... and that sucks. Really sucks.

    Styrofoam sucks, too.

    ....Sandcastles rock. I'm ready for summer :)
