Those who know me well will know I am a little opinionated, well OK, not just a little – but my thoughts on politics aside, this is something very concerning:

Blue Fin Tuna are being fished to extinction. Fact. Soon, there will be no more Tuna. So what do we do about it? 1) Stop eating tuna, 2) Make others aware, 3) Action.

Fished sustainably, Tuna would recover and become a valuable food stock. Unfortunately, fishing at 8-10+ times its sustainable level is wiping out the species. The tuna isn’t like other fish, it is possible to fish every last one out of the sea – and that’s what’s happening.

I’ll make the effort to support this, will you? Will you spread the word and care enough to ask others to pass it on? Will you stop eating it and find something else to put with mayonnaise in your sandwich? There are lots of action groups out there if you really want to get involved but the first thing to do is stop eating it – remove the demand, remove the problem.

I’m not a tree hugging soap dodger, vegetarian or Greenpeace activist – but knowing that we, as a human race, are about to wipe out another species when we know how to avoid doing it is ridiculous.

So think about it, find your way to help protect a species and a great resource. Even if you simply just don’t eat it any more. Rant over…

PS – I’ve switched the Google Adsense off on this page as it was advertising Tuna!
