I wish I could import you to Moscow. My daily challenge is to buy sustainable seafood. While anything my heart desires is available at the market daily. I would like to use my food budget to vote on what is the best choice for the environment. Not a very popular topic where I shop. Restricted black caviar is still sold under the table at very reasonable prices.

Thanks for your comment. Black market seafood is one problem that is less prevalent here. I'm sure it's an uphill battle there! What will people buy and sell once they've emptied the oceans? Our workshop today went well, I hope you'll join our blog event here. It does take time to change the way people think about use of resources but every little bit counts!
