O.K. So I love shrimp too! I'm not asking you to give it up for life but you may find a good reason to steer clear of the shrimp special at Red Lobster this month!
For your May challenge, say NO to shrimp!
WHY??
Most of the shrimp come from developing countries which is causing environmental problems. Shrimp that are caught with nets destroy the seabed and scoop up whatever lies in its path.
For every kilogram of shrimp caught, 10 kilograms of dead fish, turtles, and other marine species are discarded.
There is hope of course! There are other fish in the sea!! Find out which ones are your best choices and which ones you should avoid at http://www.seafoodwatch.org/. Print up a pocket guide to keep handy when you're at the grocery store.
Let me know what green choices you're making this month and send a message on the blog.
