  Sharks are way more important to ocean ecosystems than a lot of people think.  Luckily, there are real people who are taking true action to save them!  Christopher Swain is one of those people--he is swimming from Boston, MA to Washington DC to raise awareness about ocean pollution and how we need to save aquatic ecosystems and species like sharks.  He wrote this blog post about how sharks are often misunderstood as menacing creatures when in reality they need our help.

  It's about time we started moving towards cleaner energy like this!

  Europe is already way ahead of the US...a French company called Europcar has teamed with Nissan to offer electric car rentals.  Check out this blog (halfway down, courtesy of Cate Trotter) for some cool info on that. 

  Green trends like these need to be here for good! I look forward to the day when I can plug in my car instead of pumping smelly gasoline.

  Great article! I think it's fascinating that they held a contest just to change the name--amazing the stereotypes that are evoked by mere words...and in order to create change we first have to revamp the way we TALK about it. Crazy.

  This article really put "biosolids" into perspective for me. I live in a city and to just imagine where the bizillion pounds of crap go each time my street flushes the toilet...it's really insane. Maybe the days of outhouses weren't so bad--it was going right back into the earth immediately.
