Save a Shark, Buy a Billboard in China: Subscriber Jamie Pollack (New York, NY) works for the group Shark Savers and told us about her organization's newest effort to keep shark fins out of soup bowls. It's partnering with WildAid for a multimedia campaign in China and asking divers to help fund their efforts. For a tax-deductible $100, you can fund a "Say No to Shark Fin soup" bus-stop billboard featuring basketball star Yao Ming that will be placed in a high-traffic area of Beijing or Shanghai for a year. WildAid had 200 billboards in Beijing last year and says that of the people they surveyed who remembered the billboards, 82 percent said they would stop or reduce their eating of shark-fin soup.

A sadistic practice endorsed by those that eat it.

That's a pretty cool idea and could make an impact.
