Watch out, the food police are on the prowl again – and they’ve got your lunchtime sandwich in their sights.

This time it’s tuna that has got them in a flap. And so effective has their campaign been that Julian Metcalfe, the man behind the Pret A Manger sandwich bar chain, has announced he is banning tuna from his sarnies and sushi boxes.

Such is the market dominance of Pret that other retailers are now expected to follow suit.

His decision was prompted by the hard-hitting documentary The End Of The Line, which its makers hope will do for the world’s oceans what An Inconvenient Truth did for climate change – raising awareness about an imminent ecological crisis.
end of line

The End of the Line is a powerful film about one of the world’s most disturbing problems – over-fishing. Advances in fishing technology mean whole species of wild fish are under threat and the most important stocks we eat are predicted to be in a state of collapse by 2050.

Ps Film ini akan dirilis tanggal 12 Juni 2009

Mother Earth Salam kenal bagi siapa saja yang mau mampir di beranda bersahaja ini. Bertukar isi hati dan isi otak adalah salah satu proses manusia memanusiakan dirinya. Ada dialog di sana. Dialog yang dituntun oleh tanya demi tanya, karena manusia sepanjang hayat peradabannya adalah makhluk yang belum selesai dengan dirinya. Poin senjang yang banyak diusung berkisar pada kata kunci: MANUSIA, CINTA DAN TUHAN, VEGETARIAN, GLOBAL WARMING. Mengajak siapa saja belajar jujur pada dirinya, ketika hati dan fakta berada dalam satu garis lurus(jujur), maka kejujuran pada dirinya inilah yang akan memaksa manusia berubah. Mungkin inilah hidup yang bertanggung jawab, hidup yang fair. Berusaha memahami cara hidup saat itu juga manusia memahami cara mati

EATING UP THE WORLD

DOWNLOAD PDF FILE EATING UP THE WORLD eating up the planet If we want to preserve and restore our environment in Australia, we must make changes to our diet. The food we eat has a major effect on our waterways, the quality of the air we breathe and on the environment around us.

These practices are unsustainable and the global impacts are being felt more than ever before. By adopting a vegetarian diet you can make a significant contribution towards improving your health as well as that of the planet. Animal industries are eating up the world. It is up to us to save it!

    Dear Colleagues: Happy World Vegan Day to all of you. In this Commentary, I reflect on the state of the vegan movement.
