When The Sharks Sang
I have always said that the worst part of human beings is that they have an annoying habit of always acting human. I should know, I have been watching your species since you evolved into your wretched state. I am 3rd Assessor Vulcan, presently observing your planet, you humans, from the massive surveillance facility hundreds of feet below the surface of MARS. MARS as you know it is not Reality. Think of it as a Planet sized super computer containing technology you couldn’t possibly conceive. MARS is actually an acronym for Mobile Assessment Reconnaissance Station, and we have been doing just that since before your time. But at long last, my most sincere wish has been granted. I get to sit here, surrounded by holographic surveillance of your planet. And I get to watch it die.

Stitching Wings
I stitch wings and bones together with wire. I taught myself basic taxidermy, when I first began raising chickens. I am a Chef, and a farmer. At one point in my career of running kitchens, ordering ingredients, and writing menus, I realized the damage done by commercial agriculture, and I wished to make a difference in the world. I began studying sustainable agriculture in a community college, and learned about a man by the name of Joel Salatin. He is a pioneer in the world of poly phase farming. He stresses the importance of whole animal philosophy.

Shark Fin Soup
Walking past the shops of one of Hong Kong’s largest fish markets, Steve was on the lookout for an expensive culinary ingredient; shark fin. He thought back to the countless wedding banquets where shark fin soup was a delicacy and a must-have for pleasing wedding guests. It is this huge demand for shark fin that drives the shark hunting industry, where the monstrous fish are caught, amputated of their fins and thrown overboard to die. But as the world economy started being more socially responsible in harvesting sea life, there were calls to stop the shark hunting industry to protect the affected species from extinction. That was when Steve saw a unique opportunity to satisfy the huge demand for shark fin, while decreasing the number of sharks killed by hunters. He decided to make an artificial shark fin substitute that would look, smell and taste just like the regular shark fin, but produced in a much more ecologically responsible way. And so, he was at the fish market, looking for a sample of real shark fin to analyze and begin to develop a suitable substitute.

How Can We Utilize The Water In Good Way
Consider buying double flush toilets and introducing a dual converter that converts a standard toilet into a double toilet and returns a typical family 15,000 gallons a year. Installing an older toilet with a 16-liter Ultra Low Volume (ULV) can save up to 70% and reduce house water consumption by up to 30%. Show Sources

How Can We Reduce Water Pollution
Another major concern for water pollution is the phytoplankton core, which produces 70% of the oxygen and is concentrated in the carbon dioxide center on earth. The Organization for Global Oceanic and Environmental Surveys has set it at such a high level that it considers water pollution to be one of the "major environmental problems that pose a threat to global health over the next decade".
