Hey people, add your ideas here however crazy and terrible they seem to be.. don't be afraid, let go!! Just let your inner voice speak for itself and use this page as a jotting down scap of paper or a brain dump. You'll be surprised as how sometimes brilliant ideas can come out when you let out the rush, unhindered by the other people opinion and judgement.

So just write in what you think... The craziest idea I heard so far was of inviting aliens to the planet and turning them to fish (or was it plants?) and eating them. And since it was from someone appreciably high in the Terrascope hierachy, don't worry about being an idiot.

So now, please let it go... everybody join in!!!

"Terrible ideas are like playground scapegoats. Given the right encouragement, they turn into geniuses." from the movie "Under the Tuscan Sun" which I just watched likes 15 min ago..

Spill in out now!

    • I'm not sure how much fish is consumed by the pet foods industry, but I'm pretty sure it is a significant amount. Maybe we should look into a campaign for eliminating fish as a material for pet foods. Feeding starving people nutritious food is much more important than feeding pets. (Not that I don't love pets, but they can be fed with plenty of other sustainable foods.)
    • Make a documentary on the destructiveness of trawlers/other forms of technology. Solicit help from Michael Moore, that guy who made SuperSize Me, and the Discovery Channel (so that it will be as cool as Planet Earth.) Try to scare people into not eating fish.
    • Employ fishermen as tour guides for marine reserves. Give them hats and megaphones. Make every kid want to go out on a fishing boat instead of going to Disney World. Charge lots of money.

      Getting Hollywood and the entertainment industry involved is a really good idea, especially if it talks about the social impacts and the fishermen side of the issue as well. Every time there's a discussion on global warming, people start off by asking "how many of you have seen Al Gore's movie?" or something to that effect. I think An Inconvenient Truth was largely responsible for bringing climate change from a discussion among scientists and occasionally politicians to a dinner table conversation topic in households, and it'd be great if we could do the same for the fisheries problem.

    OMG!!!!

     You won't believe it but a significant amount of fish is not eaten as is, it is transformed into cat/dog/other animal food as pellets!!! so decreasing that at replacing it with more healthy food would be better for everybody...

    and yeah the inconvenient truth thing is really good!! 2morrow we'll try to discuss the problem along the lines of global climate that is treat the ocean problem as not only about fish consumption but a global crisis since the ocean are so much important in the life cycles of the planet. after all the whole point of terrascope is not about "saving the fish" but about "saving the OCEAN"

    I'll send an email right now about this new direction of thought.

    The points you both brought up are extremely important!!!

    Keep it coming peeps!!!

    A good way to get people to stop eating so much fish from the ocean (especially in developed countries, where fish isn't a vital part of diet) - tell them there's Mercuryin the fish, and that it's unsafe to eat. This is good, because farmed fish won't contain so much Mercury, because their conditions are controlled, right?
