But but but..Bethany from The Real Housewives of New York LOVES Costco!!! How can I stop shopping there when such an icon of gay men loves it so much?

(well a gay icon to gays who like being treated like an accessory item for rich spoiled bitches)

But still!!!

There is no Bellevue Costco.

According to WaPo reporting, Greenpeace has a long-term strategy at work here. And it was effective on Trader Joe's after months of pressure (though they will take until 2012 to switch over completly); I have my fingers crossed that Costco will come around, then onward to the other biggies.

For while it's nice that I have the time, energy and money (hello, Blueacre!) to hunt up more-sustainable seafood, it really will make a huge difference if mass outlets people trust continue to step up. Costco's among the eight majors that don't appear to have made any serious move toward a sustainable-seafood supply chain. If you're a Costco member and would like the company to offer you sustainable seafood, let them know!

I don't see how you can blame the retailer for all of this. I remember last year seeing a bunch of teenage girls protesting KFC. However KFC gets its chickens from the same place as Safeway.

It is not possible for the entire human race to be vegans who only eat locally grown, in season produce.

@2: How right you are—maybe it was Kirkland or Woodinville. Fixed. Thanks.

Greenpeace have a zeppelin?

If Costco is "destroying the seas" then what about Wal*Mart - they're raping the seas.

That said, so long as we depend on oil, we're all fucked.

There is a Kirkland PCC. They only rape the rivers.

Dudes, you're eating fish - fished by boats which use oil, lose driftnets and lines, and flown to you so you can eat Copper River Salmon "fresh" instead of waiting until the boat arrives.

Priorities. I'm more concerned about salmon killed due to lack of spillage from the dams and the resulting warmer rivers, farm effluent (poo and pee and fertilizers) in the rivers, and lawn fertilizers due to building houses in floodplains and then subsidizing their insurance.

It's not a zero-sum situation at all, Will. We don't need to pick only one aspect of a situation to care about, at the expense of all the others. The world is real, after all.

Nah, it's something I programmed when I got bored.

You're all giant batteries.

At first glance this seems kind of ridiculous, but really, if Trader Joe's can commit to this, so can Costco.

People's reaction to caring about fish is always "That's silly" until they actually start to understand the scope of the problem. It's very similar to people who say, "Two degrees? That's not much. How can two degrees of global climate change hurt me?" It doesn't seem like a big deal until you start to look at the details.
