Another Giant Garbage Patch Found in the Atlantic Ocean
If it wasn't enough reason to cut out our society's use of throw away plastic due to the first enormous patch of plastic they found years ago in the Pacific Ocean, now they've found one in the Atlantic and suspect there to be more! If you haven't checked out my running commentary tracking my use of reusable bags in lieu of plastic or paper you may want to check it out after viewing the following link!

There's an app for that!
As many of you know I am a volunteer for the Shedd Aquarium, lately I have been getting involved more and more with the Right Bite program, which I really enjoy! The Shedd does partner with the Monterey Bay Aquarium's Seafood Watch for this program and I recently have learned that they have an iphone app for their Seafood Watch pocket guides, if you don't have an iphone don't worry you can just bookmark moblie.seafoodwatch.org!
My status as a Food Inc fan on Facebook also lead me to this article that highlights some other great apps from the Dirty dozen/Clean 15 to an app called Locavore which tells you what is in season in your area and where the nearest farmer's market is. All pretty handy apps for those of us that have recently discovered that eating organic, natural and local foods is not only good for the environment but it the taste is exceptionally better as well!!
