So Fresh and So Green

Are you Unemployed all non void? Looking for a job? Want to make a difference and/or a buck? The census is hiring.

The census counts every United States resident and takes place every 10 years. Information gathered affects how many representatives a communtiy gets in the House of Representatives and how much federal funding is released for hospitals, job training centers, schools, senior centers, bridges, tunnels and other-public works projects and emergency services.

My man Wakko takes ‘em to school on the state capitals. Truly a classic…

Working for the census can get you part-time “short-term jobs [that] offer good pay, flexible hours, paid training, and reimbursement for authorized work-related expenses, such as mileage incurred while conducting census work. Best of all, census takers work right in their own communities.”

Maybe it’s not your dream job or you want something with security and benefits but while you’re working on that you could do this. It’s nationwide so you can sign up wherever you are.

Literally hundreds of thousands are needed for these temporary jobs because it’s a big country with a lot of people to be counted. You can make sure everyone in your community is counted and it’s a plus if you’re bilingual.

What does this have to do with the environment? What’s greener than money? Get you some…

The world’s fisheries were in danger of overfishing. In many areas in the world the fish populations cannot recover their numbers after they are harvested. Resulting in less fishes, less food, less money for people dependent on fish and or course changes to the ecosystem.

“Two years after a study warned that overfishing could cause a collapse in the world’s seafood stocks by 2048, an update says the tide is turning, at least in some areas” Associated Press reports.

For this story what else could I play? Ghostface talks about fish more than any rapper I know of, making this choice a no brainer for me. Here’s an obvious selection off of his first album Ironman. This song samples Otis Redding’s “Change is Gonna Come”. The first line of “Fish” is “We eat fish, tossed salads and make rap ballads“. I love it when he makes it plain…

A recent study found: “Of 10 areas of the world that were studied, significant overfishing continues in three, but steps have been taken to curb excesses in five others.” Michael Fogarty of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is confident overfishing can be reversed and cites “such steps as exclusion areas, changes in fishing gear, assignments of rights to harvest and incentives for fishers to take a long-term view.” (more…)
