Watching a marine documentary, Seaspiracy, many facts were shocked and unacceptable. . .
The largest proportion of marine plastic waste is not what I thought was the daily plastic straws, but actually the fishing gear and nets from industrialized commercial fishing. . .
46% of the human trash in the earth's oceans is actually fishing nets!
And I ate McDonald’s last week and found that the drink has been changed to a straight drinking cup, without plastic straws. Do we think it is environmentally friendly? In fact, plastic waste from plastic straws accounts for only 0.03% of the global marine waste. . .
Simply put, if the culprit is not dealt with, many environmental behaviors are pure performances. . .
Then along the way, I learned that the high degree of industrialization of global commercial fishing is devastating to the global marine ecology. . .
All the data are from 1970 onwards. In less than 50 years, most of the fish are less than 10%. . .
Do you still remember the "Dolphin Bay" ten years ago? Now a few countries including Japan should have the tradition of whaling and killing dolphins, but the main way of killing the top hunters who are killed like this is not by being killed. Purpose of hunting, but in commercial fishing, tens of thousands of sharks, whales and dolphins are caught by catch and cause death every day. . .
The fishing nets are too large, and the top marine hunters have become the joint victims of the industrialization of marine commercial fishing. . They are rapidly extinct. . . Compared with commercial fishing, the number of deliberate killings in "Dolphin Bay" is really a drop in the ocean. . .
Because the number of top hunters has dropped sharply, big fish to small fish are extinct layer by layer, coral bleaching speeds up, and finally the ocean temperature rises. Compared with land, most of the carbon dioxide is locked in the depths of the ocean, and it will be discharged at an accelerated rate. The deactivation of all cars by humans is a drop in the bucket for controlling the concentration of carbon dioxide. . .
At the current rate of commercial fishing, the global ocean will be empty before 2048. . .
At present, the area of the world's truly effective nature protection does not exceed 0.5% of the world's ocean area
The last third of the documentary exposes the infiltration of the interests of the international marine fishing industry into various world marine environmental protection organizations, which is also an eye-opener. . .
After sorting out all the logic and facts, the conclusion is simple and difficult to accept-not eating fish and not fishing is the most direct and effective way to protect the ocean, and “sustainable fishing” simply does not exist. . .
But why is fish a higher level than land-based poultry?
In fact, the environmental protection of the land is also similar. In order to eat meat, human beings are accelerating the destruction of the environment. . .
This is the first time that a complete logical chain has understood the causal link between being a vegetarian and environmental protection of the earth. . .
However, meat products have become the world's major giants. It is a matter of major interests. It is not easy to make changes, but at least start with finding and discussing problems. . .
I guess in another ten or two decades, when the problem is too serious to be ignored, sooner or later the world will develop artificial meat to replace animal husbandry and global fisheries. . .
It is estimated that it is only a matter of time. . .
At present, the taste of artificial meat is no different from that of real meat, and the nutrients will only be more balanced. The problem is that the batch cost is not low enough, so it cannot be quickly popularized. . .
In addition, as marine pollution becomes more and more serious, there are fewer and fewer fish, and there will be more and more harmful substances such as heavy metals and plastic particles in a single fish, and it will become more and more unsafe to eat fish. . . .
