Continuing from my blog post on protein, I found this video which
demonstrates than carbon emissions are not the only impact meat is having on
our world. This video by the Ecologist Film Unit, is shocking and disturbing;
it should make you think twice before buying salmon again.
As is mentioned in the video the cost of salmon is now cheaper for the consumer, but at a much greater cost for the environment and society surrounding the fishmeal production area. This may often be seen by business men as sustainability, principally because it is economically sustainable. However, I believe this video really shows that economic sustainability should not exist on its own.

Taking this into account I hope to look at a fundamental concept of sustainability in my next post – the triple bottom line. Until then consider opting for these lovely vegan treats!
