Sounds a bit fishy to me...



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. 

Mmmm vegan burger! Taken from: http://www.seriouseats.com

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!
