Hey guys! I know you’re tired of my sushi rant but I really can’t stop myself, even I think I’m boring. I promise I’ll stop acting like a teacher after this post. So here I go…
Last night I suddenly sprang out of bed to ask myself a question: why is albacore tuna overfished? At 3:00am, I had no idea but I was puzzling through it the entire day and I found my theory. Let me start off with a fact: when humans enjoy something, it’s natural to want more. Considering that, if albacore tuna is selling well then the primary and secondary industry workers would want to be more productive seeing that their goods are successful. For this to happen, primary industry workers would have to catch more fish and the secondary industry workers would continue their processing. Their indecent acts of greed creates huge amounts of pollution for the air and water. That only causes more damages to the environment and specifically, the fish in the ocean. Then, we as the consumers purchase these products and the cycle of capitalism begins again. The quaternary industry invented new technology that helps fishers locate their prey meaning that more fish can be depleted in less time. Even though the tertiary industry does not help fish farmers, they also create pollution in the process of their jobs. In summary, what I’m trying to point out is the fact that we are all criminals in the mystery of missing albacore tuna. I guess I’ll have to stop eating them in the present if I want to indulge it in the future… I’m only one in a million but if we all joined our hands together, we could be a million in one.
