Isn't it funny how things go? A couple of weeks ago I ordered some new clothes pegs to replace ours that are constantly breaking or rusting. I saw this advert for eco-friendly ones made from recycled fishing nets. They are totally plastic and extra storm strong with no metal to rust and mark your clothes. They came today. Just as we started to watch a documentary on Netflix called Seaspiracy... The guy on there was explaining how the real truth behind the pollution of the oceans was down to discarded or lost fishing nets. And less so the plastic we have come to think of as the majority straws, bottles and bags. Of course, this is covered up to a certain degree by the fishing industries ( and by them read large scale fishing, not your small fishing vessels) I had ordered those pegs without knowing all this, but now I'm even more happy that I did.
The documentary was harrowing and to be honest I'm not a big fan of eating fish, now I'm even less inclined to eat it. None of labels claiming to be sustainably caught or dolphin friendly mean a damn thing. As usual its a money-making scam by the industry and the linked governments.
I already eat a lot of vegetarian/ vegan foods but I am thinking I shall be eating a lot more. Yes little old me can't change the world, but I can and will do my little bit regardless...
