Unlike most farm-raised fish, which must eat other fish to grow, tilapia is an omnivore that can thrive on soy, corn, wheat, algae and plant waste. Plus, tilapia farms can be housed indoors where resulting wastewater and pollution are better controlled. Thirty thousand pounds of tilapia can be raised on just three acres annually — the same amount of space it takes to raise one 650-pound cow. — Slowfoodnation.org
Why It's Good: Vancouver-based BYOB enlists local artists to design a line of ultra-hip totes. Our favorite is for obsessive type lovers by printing company owner and d.j. Adrian McInnes, a.k.a. AGE.
Why It's Green: The bags are made from 100% natural cotton and are designed with eco-responsible dyes. A percentage of the profits from the limited edition Artist Series bags goes to the Nature Conservancy of Canada.
