Mike Hudak "Aesthetics" Dec 31, 2010

Show notes

In this 20-minute podcast, Mike Hudak (mike_hudak@yahoo.com) suggests that a campaign to persuade the American people to drop their support of the federal grazing program should be primarily based on aesthetics rather than on ecology or economics. Hudak draws upon writings of American naturalist John Muir along with interviews from his book Western Turf Wars: The Politics of Public Lands Ranching (http://westernturfwars.com) as examples for how to make the case for removing ranching from public lands.

Wendy Gordon, The Huffington Post "Meals of Mass Destruction: Shrimp" Dec 02, 2010

Show notes

Well we saw a bit of history two podcasts ago from 1994 and then on the last podcast we moved to 2004 and now let's again examine a 2010 article "Meals of Mass Destruction: Shrimp" by Wendy Gordon from the Huffington Post on how much of a change Environmentalists are making in bringing this important topic to the attention of a Seafood eating world. I have only read the parts of the article that deal with the Environmental Destruction since I'm not an advocate for any sort of Sustainable Animal Farming.

Mike Shanahan, Ecologist Magazine "Appetite For Destruction - Shrimp Farming" Nov 16, 2010

Show notes

The previous article by Joan Hamilton "All You Can Stomach? - Environmental Destruction Caused By Shrimp Industry " read for the 1st of November VSSE podcast was just a bit dated from 1994 so let's move to another article from 2003 by Mike Shanahan, Ecologist Magazine "Appetite For Destruction - Shrimp Farming" to see how much progress we've made.
