First the Reefs go, then...

20% of all coral reefs in the world are dead. One fifth. Gone. Why? Us; Pollution, over-fishing, and climate change.

If you ever wondered why eating fish could be bad, think about this. You may not be the one fishing fragile coral reefs unsustainably, or even buying from those who do. But the overall demand for seafood is increased by every person who goes to Red Lobster, eats sushi, or likes tuna salad sandwiches. It may be healthy, and some suppliers may claim to do their fishing responsibly, but why risk it when we are killing our own planet? If the coral reefs die, other ocean ecosystems will die, then probably eventually every other ecosystem. Sorry to sound high-horsey, accusational, or whatever, but this stuff makes me crazy.
