Berkeley Steps up to the Plastic-Waste Challenge

Heard about this in an email from UC Berkeley, which says they are the 1st university to become involved as a campus. Perhaps those who are on the sustainability committee can see if SSU would want to consider this.

The first link is to the website for the Plastic DisclosureProject website and the 2nd is to an article about UC Berkeley's involvement.

June 24, Harbor Seal Hauled out at Halfway Rock (off Marblehead)

This harbor seal was hauled out at Halfway Rock (off Marblehead) yesterday.  There were 2 divers in the water that were able to get right up to it.  I took this shot from the boat.

Great way to spend a hot summer day.

Enjoy!
