Shrimp Farm Opens In Las Vegas
Today Ganix Bio Technologies opened a Shrimp Farm in North Las Vegas, that's right the gnome said a shrimp farm! It's the first of its kind in the United States. Around 90 percent of the shrimp eaten in Las Vegas come from Southeast Asia and China. "We consume more shrimp per capita in Las Vegas than anywhere else in the world -- 22 million pounds of it annually," said Greg Orman with Ganix Bio Technologies. The gnome loves this!!! This is a very green! Transporting shrimp or any food for that matter halfway around the world for us to eat is stupid. Industrial farming techniques will have to change dramatically for us to survive in the future. The North Las Vegas farmed shrimp will make it's restaurant debut at Mandalay Bay restaurants. Their maximum production will be 450,000 pounds a year, and Las Vegas consumes 22 million pounds annually. BUT THE GNOME THINKS ITS A GREAT START!!!
GNOME OUT!

Global Climate Change NOT Global Warming
OK the Gnome will never say the words Global Warming ever again! The scientist' that coined this phrase should be smacked! The proper saying should be Global Climate Change not Global Warming! When the media and scientific community use the words Global Warming it paints a picture in the general public's mind that every year that goes by our weather should be getting warmer. This is true on a global sense the planet is getting warmer, but this is not what we see in our every day lives locally. What we see locally are crazy weather patterns. I live in Las Vegas this year it snowed at my house in April! (record). It didn't reach over 100 deg. until this week (second latest all time). There's still snow to this day on Mt. Charleston (the gnome has never seen that here ever). Now when we have these types off weather patterns the non believers in Global Climate Change stand up and say SEE we've been telling you its not real its not getting warmer! Well thats all due to the fact that we have shooved and pushed the phrase GLOBAL WARMING down everyones throat. Giving the literal perception that the weather should be warmer. The gnome has often heard a phrase that preception is 9/10th of the law or reality. In this case the perception is not the reality. So the gnome is going on record asking EVERONE to stop using the phrase Global Warming and insted please say Global Climate Change!
Ask the people of Joplin if they believe in Climate change! or the thousand more effected this years by the crazy weather patterns!

THE COVE
~THE GNOME IS BACK~
I'm writing this post because I recently watched the documentary called THE COVE and it really has an effect on me. I urge everyone that reads this to watch it. The fact that we cant globally agree to not kill dolphins breaks my heart. This species is self aware and may be more intelligent than we are (The gnome believes this may be true because they live with in there means), just because we can build things and can kill them very easily doesn't mean we are smarter. To me there is something so wrong about killing dolphins for any reason (the Japanese are eating them as food). I'm not going attempt give you a written post on what else was said the movie THE COVE MOVIE does a very good job of that and you need to see for yourself. The gnome want to talk about some of the things Ric O'Barry said in the movie one of the things that hit me really hard is that "your either and activist or a non-activist". Ive always considered myself to be an activist, BUT AM I REALLY~
1. Ive written many articles about the environment
2. I live an eco~friendly lifestyle
3. I educate most of my friends and family how they can be more eco-friendly
4. I've opened up eco~friendly business'
Most average people would consider me to be an environmentalist or activist, but I don't think most true environmentalist and activist would consider me one. See to Ric O'Barry being an activist means getting involved actually doing something about whats going on in the world that you see as wrong. THE GNOME IS SAYING GET INVOLVED!!
THE GNOME HASN'T POSTED ANYTHING IN A LONG TIME AND HE IS SORRY FOR THAT. IT WAS BECAUSE THE POSTINGS WERE WAY TWO LONG AND TOOK TO MUCH TO PRODUCE ON A WEEKLY OR EVEN A MONTHLY BASIS AND THEY BECAME TO MUCH LIKE WORK , SO THE GNOME STOP WRITING POST SO FROM HERE ON OUT MY POST WILL BE SHORTER AND MORE LIKE JUST THE GREEN GNOMES OPINION RATHER THAN A PROFESSIONAL ARTICLES THAT WOULD READ IN A MAGAZINE .
I HOPE YOU ENJOY THE NEW FORMAT!!!
