Have you heard of this campaign? PLUCKFASTIC - genius!




Another campaign I am in full support of: SHRIMP SUCK 
WHAT? I know, I know....I like eating shrimp too, but did you know?

"WHY SHRIMP SUCK?

Shrimp is the #1 seafood in the U.S.

But, eating shrimp can be among the worst things you can do to the ocean and to coastal communities.

Trawling for shrimp catches + kills more sea turtles than any other human activity.

Bottom trawling and farming for shrimp can destroy the ocean.

Seriously, you don't want to be a part of that." - from Shrimp Suck website



It is the winter of styrofoam. I have one thing to say about sytrofoam: I AM FREAKIN' SICK OF IT! 



I'd like to talk about Michael Sprague. This is what his description reads on Twitter: 


"WATER HOLDS A KIND OF MAGIC. IT CALMS US. IT LIFTS UP. ULTIMATELY IT SUSTAINS US."


 His company is called Trout Head Waters. They are all about river, stream and wetlands renewal.
