Talk is cheap. I have been meaning to lose weight and become a better person for years. and then the White House says this--

"Certainly the president has been, and is still, committed to ocean conservation," said Kristen Hellmer, spokeswoman for the White House Council for Environmental Quality. "He's got new funding for ocean initiatives."

in response to the C- grade (up from a sterling D+ the last grading period) about taking care of the ocean. Given that many large cities as little as ten years ago put primary treated sewage into the ocean and some (like Anchorage) still do, we probably deserve. For those interested, primary treated sewage basically is a big screen (a bar screen) that takes out some tampon applicators, rags, toilet paper, used birth control devices (use your imagination), feminine hygiene products. Then there is a big still chamber called a clarifier that settles maybe 50-60% of the dookie and other solids. The rest is chlorinated and flows out to sea. Yum!
