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

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".

Thank-You Note
Dear Human Friend, The thoughtful gift of the pink plastic companion from you gives me much happiness. You see, I lost the love of my life a few weeks ago. I don’t know what caused her affliction. We used to hold tails together and swim with abandon.

On Fireworks...?
The Facts: The Question: Can we please talk about fireworks for a minute? I would like to know who is responsible for this incredibly poor decision making. Let's review the facts. Fireworks are among the leading causes of wildfires in California. I just read a BBC News Article that describes a couple that decided it was a great idea to reveal the gender of their child with an explosion. The smoke bomb caused a fire that killed a brave firefighter and caused injuries to many others. Properties damaged. Beautiful landscapes burned. All in the name of what? Wanting to see like two seconds of fire. What a way to bring a child into the world. Boom.
