Talk amongst yourselves – I’ll give you a topic

I had all kinds of intelligent things to write, but I’m somewhat under the weather today, so I’ll just link lazily instead.

  • Is there too much doom and gloom in conservation outreach? Mark Powell says yes, Rick MacPherson says no, Mark says YES NEENER NEENER, Rick says NO PBBBT. Me, I try to enjoy the gloom as much as possible – all those beautiful opportunities for black humor that my ancestors never even dreamed of. In fact, maybe this discussion can be settled with a klezmer danceoff!
  • The New York Times Magazine has a feature on trash in the ocean. It focuses on Alaska, which has the same trash accumulation problem as the Northwest Hawaiian Islands – it’s getting trash from the North Pacific Gyre. Volunteers in the Kenai Fjords picked 30 tons of trash off just one beach.

    That’s actually yes, ngeener-ngeener (the g is silent). I’ve taken the voodoo doll of you out of the chocolate sauce and put it into salsa (yummy but hot).
