Take Action

Make a list of the most important foods in your culture. Investigate how they are produced and whether there are ethical issues in any step of the process from farm or the wild to your table. Discuss any issues you find and brainstorm ways to address the problems that also allow you to preserve your cultural heritage.
Identify organizations working to stop the pollution that is threatening to render the whales and Faroe Islands fish and birds too contaminated to eat. Find out how you can help.
Assess your own mercury consumption and that of your community: Are there foods popular in your region that may contain unsafe levels of mercury?
Organize a campaign to educate your community about the effects of plastic waste on the environment and specifically its devastating effect on birds. Create a flyer with tips on how to curb plastic consumption.
