                I don’t really understand your point.

                If I am not buying fish then even by a miniscule amount the demand has decreased.

                scale it up and you have your answer.

                  The point is that there are 8 billion people on the planet, and no amount of personal responsibility will resolve the problem. Legislation and enforcement are the only way to resolve this issue.

                    Why not both? But in the meantime, I’m going to deny my money to the industry.

                  if the global fishing hasn’t decreased due to your tactic, then another tactic might be necessary

Geography is just physics slowed down, with a couple of trees stuck in it. - Terry Pratchett

Geography is the study of places and the relationships between people and their environments. Geographers explore both the physical properties of Earth’s surface and the human societies spread across it. They also examine how human culture interacts with the natural environment and the way that locations and places can have an impact on people. Geography seeks to understand where things are found, why they are there, and how they develop and change over time. Read more…

Rules

  1. Don’t throw mud. Be kind and remember the human.
  2. Keep it rooted (on topic).
  3. No spam.
