Researchers Project Collapse of Seafood Species.

That's right. If the downward trend continues, by 2050 there could be no seafood harvest from the ocean.

"The loss of biodiversity is reducing the ocean's ability to produce seafood, resist diseases, filter pollutants, and rebound from stresses such as over fishing and climate change"

"but [researchers] say it's not too late to change"

Tick tock goes the clock, and time is running out for us to save ourselves. Perhaps this new evidence will stress why the "Clean Air Act" - which essentially lays out a bunch of rules that the government might put in place maybe by 2010 is simply not good enough. We need to get our shit together NOW!

I finished reading Elizabeth May's How to Save the World in Your Spare Time the other day, and I recommend it to all. She has some brilliant advice on how to get yourself out there - I even used some of the tips on media and promotion with Theatre by the River this summer! But it is meant for the everyday environmentalist who wants to get active. It is brilliant! Here are some great quotes:

"If we don't change our course, we'll wind up where we are headed." - Chinese Proverb

"Why is it whenever we destroy something man made, it's called vandalism? And whenever we destroy something God made, it's called progress?" - former Democratic senator of Arkansas, Dale Bumpers.

"Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter." - Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

"Truth is stranger than fiction, because fiction is obliged to stick to the possibilities." - Mark Twain

"Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's need, but not every man's greed." - Ghandi

"Sustainable development: development that meets the needs of the present generation without sacrificing the ability of future generations to meet their needs." - World Commission on Environment and Development

"Humanity is conducting an unintended, uncontrolled, globally pervasive experiment whose ultimate consequences are second only to global nuclear war." - Consensus Statement, "our changing atmosphere: implications for global security", June 1988.
