10.10.10 International Day of Action takes on Climate Change

Heads up! A movement is underway for taking action on climate change issues. Check out the 10.10.10 website for more information and find out what you can do to participate.

Yes, October 10, 2010 will be here very soon and our little Bengal sergeant is calling us to arms!



And for all manner of science and environmental news Bengal sergeant also recommends to you the Earth and Sky website.

Salmon Aquaculture now improved!

Perhaps you heard Living On Earth today and the interview concerning Monterey Bay Aquarium's Sea Food Watch giving its first-ever seal of approval to AquaSeed Corporation of Rochester, Washington, for coming up with a better, safer way to feed farmed salmon.

Salmon is my very favorite fish-for-dinner yet I know that for years now consumers have been warned off farmed salmon because it contains high levels of contaminants. Yet often here in Georgia, farmed salmon is all that's available for purchase.

Well, I hope these innovations in fish farming 'catch' on with salmon farmers across the land!

Now I have no drawings of salmon but here's a small Bengal sergeant who wishes to salute the AquaSeed Corporation - good job!

Got Fish Oil? Improvement will follow

As most people are aware, taking fish oil is good support for many health conditions with research studies into its benefits ongoing.

Even the topical application of fish oil may be useful for easing such skin conditions as eczema and psoriasis.

Well, here's a link to a website with a list of current research info on a variety of medical conditions which show benefits from the use of fish oil. It's called Oil of Pisces and you can probably guess that it's the site's name that first attracted me like a bass to a worm!

You'll even find there an article concerning the fish oil/mercury issue which gives pause to some, but check out the info when you get a moment...you may be pleasantly surprised.
