Remember the infamous Soup Nazi in Seinfeld? Well a Japanese sushi chef in Sydney is demanding similarly high standards of her customers.
Tired of food waste and its associated environmental impacts, Chef Yukako Ichikawa of Wafu Restaurant demands her patrons eat all their food or pay a fine and not return. The restaurant advises to order in harmony with you appetite and—barring ginger, wasabi and lemon—to clean your plate thoroughly.
Given that 40% of all food in the US goes to waste, I think Chef Ichikawa is onto something big.

Animal Horrors
The Oil Spill has been going on for OVER 50 days, and images of dead and distressed wildlife have been pouring in. Birds covered in oil, dolphins swimming through muck and turtles gasping for breath have dominated news coverage.

At Huffpost green we're following all the latest oil spill news closely and we'll keep you posted.
