Sarah Brown Organic Garden, Sustainable Fish Choices
Written by Vegetarian Star on April 26th, 2010 in Environment-Eco-Green, Food & Drink, Politicians.
Sarah Brown, wife of Prime Minister Gordon Brown, is bent on making sustainable changes at her Number 10 Downing Street Residence, which include an organic garden with strawberries, peppers and parsley.
But she is also rethinking her choice of non-plant food.
Already having a tendency to avoid red meat, Sarah now sees the environmental consequences of eating too much fish, after watching End of the Line last year.
From The Observer:
“Last year I was very pleased to host a screening of The End of the Line – the stunning and scary film charting what is happening to the world’s oceans and fish stocks. When we sent out invites, many of the guests thought it was a hoax because they’d never heard of a film being screened at No 10 before and they couldn’t quite believe that one of the first would be about fish. But they came anyway and they, like me, were mesmerised by the evidence and footage about what will happen if we continue to treat the world’s fish supply in such a reckless way. I adore fish (and get a lot of my protein that way as I prefer it to red meat) and have become much more vigilant about what I’m buying and where it’s come from. Some restaurants and supermarkets have been fantastic at responding to consumer pressure on this – some are still behind.”
Pescatarians should arm themselves with the latest updates on which fish are healthy for people and planet.
