Eco-Friendly Seafood: ECOPEZ
Tuesday, July 6th, 2010Heard of ECOPEZ? Now you will, so check it out. Recently, we discussed how the fishing industry and the ocean are suffering due to our unsustainable eating and bad fish farming practices. There’s overfishing of many species, accidental extinctions and careless modification of underwater ecosystems, not to mention fish farming processes that cause pollution and unforeseen chemical changes in the fish we count on as part of our diets.
Ecopez aims to help stop all this and educate. They deliver fresh and only certain fish and seafood to your door.
“ECOPEZ searches the world over for suppliers who grow and harvest premium quality seafood.”
That’s a promise made by a hard-working and conscientious company that recognizes quality product, namely - fish and seafood. They look for fish farmers that adhere to certain feeding processes and particular “animal husbandry” (no artificial breeding to ‘improve’ schools of fish and future generations which could have adverse affects), and farms that do not pollute lands or keep fish in low-quality tanks. Ecopez also adheres to the Marine Stewardship Council’s list of unsustainable species and will not do business with fisherman or companies that deplete aquatic populations that are recovering.
Fish and seafood are wild, organically farmed and as said before, totally sustainable. Their delivery trucks are sent forth from Stockton, California to one of the many port cities on the pacific coast and more to provide businesses, restaurants and some individuals with eco-friendly and responsible fish and seafood to enjoy. In the end, this practice is indeed sustainable.

Ecopez delivers fish that are "Earth Approved" for consumption.
