Two of the world’s largest food sellers -- Walmart and Supervalu (the parent company of grocery stores chains like Shaws and Albertsons) -- are helping to destroy the world's ocean population by selling massive quantities of endangered fish.
Ninety percent of the seas' top predators have already disappeared. These are fish like bluefin tuna, orange roughy, and shark -- the same species that line the seafood coolers of the two companies.
After pressure from Greanpeace, Change.org members, and others, Trader Joe’s, Costco, and Target have all pulled many imperiled species from their stores to prevent further catastrophe. But Walmart and Supervalu keep pushing these species toward the brink of extinction.
Their survival -- and the survival of the entire ocean ecosystems they're a part of -- could rest on the decision making of Walmart and Supervalu.
They may hold billions of dollars in purchasing power, but they’ve got a major weakness—consumer demand. If shoppers pressure these supermarkets to shape up their acts, they’ll have no choice but to make sustainable seafood the only choice.
