    …which somehow doesn’t include producing less garbage?

        An individual abstaining from owning slaves didn’t reduce slave populations either. Think they were as dumb and ineffectual as I am? Fine.

          so you are moving the goalposts from efficacy to ethics. that’s fine, but I don’t believe eating fish is unethical.

            Multitudes of alternatives (plants!) are less cruel and harmful to our planet. Do you disagree?

              I don’t think eating fish is cruel, nor inherently harmful to the planet. the methods of fishing that have developed, and the scale of modern fishing are problems, but for me to choose to abstain from fish would not mitigate the situation.
