Green Options

This week’s Zaproot features GO blogs Ecoworldly, Planetsave, and Gas 2.0, and discusses European efforts to address obesity, Ford’s increasing “green” efforts, and Robert De Niro’s restaurant servering an endangered species.

This past weekend, undercover operatives from Greenpeace tested the DNA of fish served in several London-based restaurants that are part of a chain known as Nobu. The restaurants are partially owned by actor Robert De Niro. The tested fish were discovered to be endangered bluefin tuna. In an incredibly stupid response, Nobu’s principal manager has decided to label the endangered fish with an asterisk on the restaurants’ menu, rather than stopping to serve it.
