Ocean Destroyers Anonymous

In the fourth edition of Greenpeace's seafood sustainability scorecard, Carting Away the Oceans, many supermarkets such as H.E.B., Meijer, Costco*, SUPERVALU, Publix, and Winn Dixie haven't taken any responsibility for the seafood they sell or for the damage they are doing to our oceans.

Join us as we take an insider look at these supermarkets to see how they are coping with their status as ocean destroyers. Will their support group help them realize they have a problem and begin to make improvements? Or, will they spiral further towards the bottom of the barrel?

*UPDATE: Victor! Costco has agreed to remove over half of its red list seafood items, pursue better practices in aquaculture and assume more of a leadership role in the ongoing global effort to develop a more sustainable tuna industry. Thanks to all who helped with this campaign.

I thought I was educated and aware of all the dangers facing our planet, now I feel so ignorant---there is just so much; it's overwhelming! I belong to several grassroots organizations and just came on board with Greenpeace and never even knew about the red listed fish so I'm sure no one on my FB page does and I've posted the December 19th Livestream, made phone calls, written letters, signed petitions, work as a Climate Caption with 1Sky and right now it's just not enough!  Any suggestions?

It would be much better if it was the REAL supermarkets represented; also, what about supermarkets in other countries, such as here in the UK? Most are internationally owned these days and most of them are in it for profit only and don't give a damn about the environment until consumers pressure them, and most consumers don't seem to care either. The only way to get through to people is education, especially with the young.

I much prefer humorous skits like these compared to the gory ones Greenpeace...i think they get the point across much better to most average consumers rather than scare tactics. I believe this will be well recieved compared to the Nestle video..which even as a GP supporter and vegan i didn't care for - it really lumped you into the 'crazy PETA people' category.
