On Low-Impact Lifestyle

I just have a minute to sit and write some of my thoughts. I've been thinking a lot lately about how I can reduce my personal impact on the environment. These are mostly small things that I have let pass by without letting the guilt actually influence action...

Despite the fact that it is so tastey, I will not eat unsustainable seafood until such a time that it is a stable resource and much less harmful to the oceans. Shrimp are the worst, and I love shrimp. Wild shrimp (and other kinds of fish, actually) are caught using a method called bottom trawling, and it is highly destructive to fish, corals and topography. Some kinds of fish are better for sustainable farming or harvesting, but aquaculture also has negative effects on surrounding environments and animals. There is a comprehensive guide to choosing sustainable seafood here at David Suzuki's site.

I'll expand on this later!
