    Plant One Million Trees
    Say "one Mississippi" out loud. A piece of rain forest the size of a football field is lost every second; every year, global deforestation amounts to the loss of 13 million hectares of forest (about the size of Nicaragua). The Greenest Person on the Planet, Matthias Gelber, challenges you to plant one million trees by Earth Day 2009.

    Fish by Phone

    Rather than accidentally contribute to the permanent extinction of a species, lately I've just been skipping the seafood choices when I can't tell if it's a sustainably fished species. Same thing with high mercury levels, or other toxic contaminants - if I'm not sure, I just order the chicken.

    Now you can, just text the message FISH, and the name of the fish you want to eat, to 30644. The Blue Ocean Institute will text you back, and if it's a red flag fish, they'll suggest alternatives.

    Event promotes sustainable sushi
    Sustainable sushi might seem a straight forward enough concept — especially in a city as sushi-centric as Vancouver — but it can be surprisingly hard to find. After all, products like farmed salmon are less expensive than the ocean-friendly wild variety, and the global economic crisis only makes it seem less desirable for small-business owners to spend extra money on sustainability efforts.

With that, we introduce you to the "Prince of Whales", Tim Draper.
