Gluttony
It came from the stars... Or so we believe. In truth we didn’t see it coming, merely felt its arrival. It had slipped unknown, beneath the notice of everyone. It was as if it had appeared between the grasp of nothing and nowhere; no telescope, no satellite, no daydreaming child- no one knew, until the day of gluttony began.

Have you ever stopped to think how much your life is really worth?
Have you ever truly stopped to think about how much your life is really worth? Have you paused long enough to feel the weight of every single choice you make each day?

How big seafood companies can help reduce illegal fishing
The global seafood industry is worth hundreds of billions of dollars, and at its heart lies an uncomfortable truth: a significant portion of the fish that lands on dinner tables around the world has been caught illegally. Illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing — the full name for what most people simply call illegal fishing — accounts for an estimated 20% of the global catch, costing the world economy up to $23 billion a year. For anyone who cares about the ocean, that number is staggering. But here is where things get interesting: the best exotic fish exporters, the massive processing conglomerates, and the global seafood brands that dominate supermarket shelves are not just bystanders in this crisis. They are, in many ways, the most powerful force capable of ending it.
