Scientists turn beer waste into fish food

66972851.TbGPSWFS

An unlikely alliance between two former Colorado School of Mines students and the New Belgium Brewery in Fort Collins could someday end up saving fisheries all over the world.

"A large facility, a large brewery for example, might put 40 to
50,000 pounds of waste beer down their drain every day. So we can
convert that to 30 to 35,000 pounds of bacterial protein everyday.
Regular fish feed has 25 to 50 percent protein. Our ingredient has 65
percent protein."  LINK (Via: 9News)

BSA Monterey Bay Area Council earn their kill protected steelhead merit badges

Setting a great example for the kids.

The Boy Scouts of America’s Monterey Bay Area Council operated a summer
dam on a pristine river and - despite official warnings - allegedly
killed federally protected steelhead trout downstream. And when state
and federal regulators sought to have the council stop using the dam,
Scout executives turned to politicians to whom they had given campaign
contributions or with whom they had personal ties.

Other councils are offering clear cutting merit badges. 

Scout councils nationwide have hired loggers to carry out
clear-cutting and salvage harvests in ecosystems that provided habitat
for a host of protected species, including salmon, timber wolves, bald
eagles and spotted owls, records show.
