Why your carbon footprint is a scam, explained. Check out Climate Town here: https://www.youtube.com/c/climatetown?sub_confirmation=1 In this special Our Changing Climate video, I showcase Rollie at Climate Town's video all about why your carbon footprint is a scam. Through this carbon footprint video, Rollie reveals how and why the BP oil created the idea of the carbon footprint. Over the course of multiple decades, BP used the idea of a carbon footprint to push the responsibility and the burden of carbon emissions onto the individual and away from their own practices. Essentially BP created the carbon footprint as an elaborate victim-blaming scheme. Your carbon footprint matters, but the reason why you have a carbon footprint in the first place is that fossil fuel companies like BP have fought tooth and nail against any kind of transition away from oil and gas.

Visit http://oceana.org/FishStories to learn more about seafood traceability It seems like a simple concept—knowing where your food comes from. But unfortunately, seafood lovers rarely know how the fish got to their dinner plate. This knowledge is important, because a complex and opaque seafood supply chain opens the door to illegal and irresponsible fishing practices, seafood fraud, public health risks, and even human trafficking, forced labor and organized crime. These problems threaten the oceans and consumer’s wallets, and unfairly undermine honest fishermen and businesses that play by the rules. But these are fixable problems. The first step in ensuring that seafood is safe, legally caught, and honestly labeled, is traceability. Traceability increases transparency and accountability in the seafood supply chain by ensuring that information such as how, when and where fish are caught or farmed follows the fish from boat to plate. The ability to share information along the seafood supply chain reduces the risk of seafood fraud and helps prevent illegally caught product from entering the market.

Updated from our previous version to reflect the growing support. As of posting, more than 100 coastal communities have stood up to Big Oil! The Obama Administration is proposing to open the Southeast coast to offshore drilling, threatening jobs and tourism up and down the coast and putting the region at risk of devastating oil spills like the BP Deepwater Horizon disaster in the Gulf of Mexico. The proposed plan would open the coasts of Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia to offshore drilling. As communities, elected leaders, and impacted industries along the Southeast coast unite in opposition to this major shift in federal policy, the Obama Administration is currently reexamining and revising its proposed leasing plan and is expected to release a new draft plan in early 2016.

Become a master of paradox | Adam Bryant for Big Think+ ► https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H5Q_-gIZIps When a customer, an employee, or a senior leader has set their sights on a certain course of action and then runs into obstacles that make it slower, harder, more frustrating, we call this organizational friction. Many times, that can be a bad thing, but best-selling author and organizational psychologist Bob Sutton argues that we can actually harness it to benefit us. One thing that Sutton emphasizes in his book The Friction Project is that you should first ask yourself if your course of action is the ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ thing to do. If it's the right thing to do, it should happen fast and be relatively frictionless. The ‘wrong’ thing to do is often full of friction, but the right thing, although it may have some ‘constructive friction,’ is often able to push forward and make progress without harsh obstacles. Here are 2 easy tricks to solve any problem and make friction your secret weapon.
