SUV or bicycle - you decide

Wired has this interesting summary of the costs of petrol per gallon around the world. Its no longer how much a barrel costs, but how much the govt decides to subsidise or tax you. I think I still prefer my trusty £15 bike :) and sleep better at night...

'Only 50 years left' for sea fish

A major report highlighting the depletion of current fish stock seems to be as bad news as the global warming news that was first reported at the beginning of this week. It again goes to show the extent our damage to this fragile earth without much consideration of the future. I am not against humans to eat fish, but feel that the way we can harvesting the catch is simply non-sustainable. Demand for seafood grows everyday and fisherman are more than happy to continue to feed this demand by looking for more supply, somewhere, somehow...I think we can all do a part by actively making sure that the produce that we buy from our fishmonger/supermarkets have their supplies come from responsible fisheries. At the end of the day, what will the oceans become if there are no longer any fish in it?
