Greenpeace has surveyed the American retail giants for selling endangered fishes & made a Red List -What variety can be eaten or what not!
Follow the link & next time when you go to Safeway, Wallmart or Target...be cautious what you are picking!

Do you care about Ocean Sustainibility when you pick Alaska Pollock or Atlantic Salmon?
Yes, we better spare the Marine Ecosystem & increase Intake of Locally Grown food!

I received a mail from Green peace today; this time the Culprit is Trader Joe outnumbering itself for selling red-listed Sea-food.
Take Action- sign & send a petition here traitorjoe.com to Trader Joe, whom Greenpeace so aptly named Traitor Joe
Ahoy Debashree!
Traitor Joe here. I'm up to my eyeballs in red list seafood. My stores have so many red list fish on ice, that I’d bet there aren’t any left in the oceans. Seafood gets red listed if it’s fished using methods that harm ocean habitats or other critters, or because there just aren’t that many of the fish around anymore. But have I helped save them? Heck no!
Greenpeace released the third edition of their supermarket scorecard and Trader Joe's came in at the bottom of the list again (17out of 20). Ouch! In fact, this is the third time Trader Joe’s scored as the worst of the national supermarket chains surveyed about sustainable seafood. Just call me your one-stop-shop for ocean destruction.
If ocean destruction bothers you, and you want Trader Joe’s to get out of the business of trading red list seafood, then visit my website traitorjoe.com, and do something about it. Send a singing fish telegram to Trader Joe's and tell them to stop destroying the oceans and passing the guilt onto their customers.
But, I hope you won't, though, because that way I can keep confusing my customers, all while turning a profit.
From the bottom of the barrel,
