I've been testing my word skills on FreeRice.com, and I happened across another online charity effort that I talked about some in my own blog.

You can also access information about the toxicity of fish right in the store via Fish Phone -- http://fishphone.org/ (which is a wap site). Text 30644 on your cell phone with the message "FISH" and the name of the fish in question, and the BOI will get back to you within seconds. You can also download a "Guide to Ocean Friendly Seafood" that you can download to a handheld device. <BR/><BR/>So, no need to start the revolution. But just-in-time information as a conscious consumer is definitely at your (mobile) fingertips. <BR/><BR/>Katrin at http://mobileactive.orgKatrin Verclashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10714823277239180246noreply@blogger.com
