    Save your plastic bags by all means, but if you really want to make a difference, stop eating fish.

    Have a read.

    A sorry summary of abuse of power by magnates and corporate buisness; hiding the truth.

    Fish experience pain. We experience pain. Our dogs and cats feel pain. All sentience feels pain.
    Fish when hauled form their home, often from a depth of 10 metres or more, can and usually experience horrific trauma due tp pressure change. If they have a swim bladder, it can expand rapidly and seriously damage surrounding organs; their eyeballs can fill with bubbles and bulge out of their heads; intestines squeeze out of rectums and stomachs are pushed out of mouths. Then they slowly suffocate as their gills dry out. All the while they are alive.

    ..Fish produce the same opioids—the body’s innate painkillers—that mammals do. And their brain activity during injury is analogous to that in terrestrial vertebrates: sticking a pin into goldfish or rainbow trout, just behind their gills, stimulates nociceptors and a cascade of electrical activity that surges toward brain regions essential for conscious sensory perceptions..

    Cutting back on sources of omega-6 also restores the balance.

    For vegetarians, is milk (from our grass fed cows) a viable source of omega 3?
