Just heard Sainsbury's’ sustainability advert say “There’s nothing fishy about the way we catch fish”. Wondering how scallops caught by dredges in Canada and I assume flown to the UK, or cod caught in the NE Atlantic, to be packed in China, to be sold in the UK, is sustainable?
Got to show Mark from BBC Out of Doors around the new library space with Eva Scottish Maritime Museum (empty of books but containing some architectural features he quite liked). Segment begins around 1:04:00 but obviously enjoy the whole thing this long weekend 🌼

Scottish Government earmarked this area for protection six years ago, yet bottom-towed fishing is still permitted.

Had the absolute pleasure of being Environmentalist in Residence with West Dunbartonshire Libraries and can’t emphasise enough how grateful I am that this funding was available to make it happen🌿
(not to sound greedy but more artist residencies in libraries please please please)
