Paul McCartney "Glass Walls"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTifP6idBPs
"If slaughterhouses had glass walls everyone would be vegetarian", this is the line Paul McCartney uses many times throughout his video.  He is supporting that every one should become vegetarian.  His video is one of very few that actually shows and describes the way our food industry is working.  He uses the examples of chickens, pigs, cows and fish and shows videos of each that discourage you from wanting to eat this food.  One of the fats he presented is that if we continue to fish at the rates we do, then the ocean will be out of fish by 2048. We are fishing at such a tremendous rate that we are destroying our oceans.  ALSO, our food sources are the cause of many diseases, especially fish as a result of the consumption of mercury.  Overall, McCartney is one of the few people to go out and bash the food industry.  He shows people what our food is like before it is slaughtered.  It, along with Food Inc, is actually making me consider becoming a vegetarian.

The Wait Continues for Safe Tap Water in West Virginia

On Thursday an estimated 7,500 gallons of 4-methylcyclohexane methanol was spilled into the Elk River in West Virginia.  The chemical, used in coal preparation, causes skin irritation, headaches and difficulty breathing.  All residents in Charleston West Virginia are unable to use tap water in any way as it can possibly be detrimental to their health.  Over 370,000 gallons of clean water were brought into Charleston and the surrounding area by Saturday alone, and it is unknown how much longer they will be without usable tap water.  The amount of the chemical had dropped below one ppm in certain areas, meaning its safe, however there were other areas with tests done where the amount was still too high, being above this one ppm threshold.
