No Meat Week: Help Stop Global Warming

The week starts on 9/1.

I’m posting this not only for the more-or-less known reasons, but for a reason I just heard about for the first time this month — that 14 MILLION TONS of wild caught fish are used in livestock feed every year!
[See Fish and pigs and chickens, oh my!
Farm animals consume 17 percent of wild-caught fish.]
And that some species are caught before they are old enough to reproduce. So their populations may not recover. I think that irresponsible and unsustainable use ought to be an alarming concern to anyone who cares about the collapse of the world’s fisheries and the potential mass extinction of all species who depend on fish to survive.

What are we doing, feeding fish to pigs & chickens?! 
(Doesn’t livestock get enough to eat, with 70% of the world’s grain that they use up, and that we cut down rain forests to grow it?!)

Spread the word. Thanks!
