the average person has very little way to reduce the number of plastic nets in the water

Besides the obvious and 100% viable option of just not eating fish.

The average person cannot make the connection between the food they eat and the animal it was. People act so appalled by the torturous conditions in animal farms, and then stop at McDonald's on their lunch break to pick up some chicken nuggets, totally unaware of the irony

Now I feel better about my weird dietary preferences.

I'm doing my part!

I also do not enjoy the taste of fish. High five haha

Yeah eating fish is not sustainable, especially considering how global fish population is dropping rapidly. Sadly, my dad loves fish..

have you tried that?

seems like this comic indicates it's not doing enough

Seems the problem is beyond finding a 'cure-all'. Multiple strategies will be necessary.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'd prefer an effective strategy

..which somehow doesn't include producing less garbage?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

less garbage isn't created regardless of whether you or I buy fish
