Photo via jenny downing Written By Achim Steiner, UN Under-Secretary General and Executive Director, UN Environment Programme (UNEP) The epic voyage of Plastiki is bringing into sharp focus the inordinate environmental and economic impact humanity is having on the oceans and seas. While the focus is solid waste, and especially plastic marine litter, the expedition also underlines the myriad of other, sometimes invisible, factors that are accelerating the degradation and decline of fisheries to coastal ecosystems, such as mangroves … Read the full story on TreeHugger

Religion: Students swap Bibles for porn (Video)

Students swap Bibles for porn. At the University of Texas San Antonio campus, a college atheist group is offering students pornography in exchange for Bibles, Korans, or other religious texts.

Charlie Sheen Also Hoped Denise Richards Would "F-cking Die," Legal Document Reads

On December 25, 2009, Charlie Sheen allegedly held a knife to wife Brooke Mueller’s throat and said: I’ll kill you. A one-time occurrence from a (possibly) cocaine-fueled , troubled actor? Not exactly, new court documents reveal. According to TMZ, Sheen’s ex-wife Denise Richards might testify in the comedian’s criminal case next month. The disturbing reason? The district attorney is interested in a declaration Richards signed (under penalty of perjury) on December 30, 2005. On that day, she got a restraining order against the Two and a Half Men star and swore the following in court: In the middle of an argument, Denise was holding her and Charlie’s daughter Lola. From there, Sheen “pushed me, shoving me with his two hands between my shoulders. I was forced backwards and tripped over one of the children’s toys and fell on the floor with Lola.” Under oath, Richards said her husband screamed: “I hope you f-cking die, bitch… You are f-cking with the wrong guy.” Sheen denied this allegation at the time, but a prior incident of wife-threatening won’t bode well for the actor. If subpoenaed, Richards will testify about this exchange in a Colorado trial, where Sheen faces a felony charge of menacing . It sounds as though the nickname given to Sheen’s iconic Major League character (“Wild Thing”) applies to the actor, as well.
