Millions of Americans, like, are preparing to celebrate Independence Day with backyard BBQs and picnics. As people flock to supermarkets and shopping centers to stock up, those ending up at Costco Wholesale might be surprised at what they find.

In the Costco warehouse you'll find freezers and coolers full of unsustainable fish. Greenpeace surveys found that Costco continues to sell fifteen of the twenty-two red list seafood items.

Costco is the largest wholesale club operator in North America. While Costco continues to grow bigger and bigger, so does its footprint on the environment. Did you know that Costco is destroying our oceans through its harmful seafood purchasing practices?

It's time to shine a spotlight on Costco and expose the truth behind their destructive seafood policies. Costco can be a leader in ocean conservation, not a contributor to ocean destruction.

Is it so? That's disgraceful. My parents used to shop at Costco in Watford. We had no idea about this...!

And, signed.

It's uprising how much damage all the main high street shops are causing to the environment in order to obtain the cheapest prices in order to gain the greatest profits.  I no longer eat cod myself as it is also endangered and over fished.  In the British waters there are plenty fish which are caught but not eaten in Britain but sold all across Europe and like wise fish caught in other areas of the world but not eaten there but transported thousands of miles away.  It's ludicrous.  And look at how much meat, fish and veg are wasted!
