Manky & Brian: Seafood Champions

How cool is this? A law school student & blogger named Manky took up a seafood challenge from her boyfriend Brian

If she completed the school paper she'd been laboring over (loudly, while he was trying to sleep) & managed to turn it in on time, he promised that for the next two years he'd only eat seafood that's a Green List choice of our Seafood Watch program (well, except for squid).

She blogged the challenge, then blogged the fact that she met the deadline.

"Whoohoo!" she wrote. "I am totally motivated! If I write this paper, I can save lives!! (Wow, he really wanted some peace and quiet.) He's already given up the red side of the chart and octopus (I think it's just wrong to kill something smart) and I really didn't expect him to take this step. I'm so excited! "

A day later: "Paper was in on time - Save the Sea Turtles!"

So -- what are you doing to save ocean wildlife through your seafood choices? You don’t have to follow Manky & Brian’s lead, and entirely give up the "Good Alternatives" on our Yellow List. (Just ask the necessary questions about how they’re caught, and consume them in moderation.) But if you’re doing something, let us know.
