Seas the Day Theme for July '08:
Food for Life (or eat well and do good at the same time)!
Greetings!
Eat well and do good at the same time! Where our food comes from and how it is grown does affect the health of our ocean. Each of us can use our power as a consumer to become part of an “ocean-friendly” solution. Most ocean species are overfished, and many types of ocean fish farming are highly damaging to coastal environments. Additionally, some of the most serious threats to our ocean come from land-based sources, including industrial agriculture operations. Whether or not you eat seafood, you can do our ocean a big favor by eating organic, local and less-processed foods.
