Another topic other than transport which is near and dear to my heart (or should that be stomach) – Food!!!
From their website – “Sustain advocates food and agriculture policies and practices that enhance the health and welfare of people and animals, improve the working and living environment, promote equity and enrich society and culture.”
I came across this crowd through Hugh’s Fish Fight site. There appears to be a huge number of real world project and campaigns that they are working on. And they have some interesting, and in some cases downright challenging, recipes and publications. How does “Bake Your Lawn: Grow it, mill it, bake it, eat it” sound? I’ll let you draw your own conclusions on that one. I need to read the site a bit more to get a handle on what exactly they’re involved in, but I do fully support Hugh’s Fish Fight. It’s not bad enough that we, the Irish, practically gave away our fishing rights in our own waters so that foreign factory ships can come in and plunder the fish stocks here, we also have the fish quotas and practice of discards affecting the fish stocks.
Returning to a system of landing what you catch as opposed to dumping everything that you catch but don’t have a quota for and broadening the range of fish which we consume is extremely important to the balanced survival of all fish species, not just the 5 or so species which we regularly consume. Try some Pollock, with a little Thai fish sauce and dill herbs, wrapped in tin foil and popped in the oven. It’s beautiful and best of all really cheap as Pollock is regarded by many as a fish you can’t eat or with no taste, which is just a stupid old wives tale.
