'Seaspiracy' review: Fact and fiction meet fish in controversial Netflix documentary


‘Seaspiracy’ on Netflix
 
Though presented as a piece of investigative journalism, the documentary does spread misinformation, and has now been panned by experts and even participants of the film
‘The oceans will run out of fish by 2048’: this message was doing the rounds a few years ago and still pops up on WhatsApp forwards. Though the original authors themselves accepted the error and updated the data, the scourge continues. In Netflix’s new documentary
Seaspiracy, this is a message displayed in big bold Scorsese red letters accompanied by dramatic music.

Environmental Group Wins Key Step in Battle Against Big Plastic :: Earth Island Institute


Federal Court rules landmark case should proceed in California State Court
February 23, 2021 (Berkeley, CA) — Earth Island Institute, represented by Cotchett, Pitre & McCarthy, received a favorable ruling today in its landmark lawsuit against 10 major food, beverage, and consumer goods companies for the nuisance created by their plastic packaging, including polluting California waterways with plastic trash and touting products as recyclable when they’re not.
Judge Haywood S. Gilliam Jr., of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, granted Earth Island Institute’s motion and ruled that the lawsuit belongs in state rather than federal court. This decision means that the lawsuit against the companies can proceed toward its merits rather than facing delays involved with attempts to change the venue. Similar tactics have been used by Big Pharma and Big Oil to try to delay or derail lawsuits against them. Judge Gilliam’s decision prevents Big Plastic from attempting the same.
