  1. 80% of the fish we eat in the United States is imported.
  2. We have removed 90% of basically all species of fish!! NOT GOOD!!
  3. The United States spent $80.2 Billion of seafood in 2010 alone!!
  4. That is why Target is going sustainable which in part does mean LOCALLY BASED!!  
Wow folks Our digital ocean just got a whole lot more colorful and informative Let me paint you a picture of this fin tastic infographic we've whipped up about Target's deep dive into sustainable seafood. Picture this: A sea of Target red and white (because why not bring some brand flair to our oceans, right?), with the iconic bullseye logo riding the waves at the top. It's like Target decided to throw a beach party, and everyone's invited! Now, let's swim through the juicy bits: Did you know that a whopping 80% of the seafood we munch on in the U.S. is actually imported? That's right, our fish are more well-traveled than most of us! Here's a shocker that'll make you want to hug a fish: We've seen a 90% reduction in many fish species. Yikes! It's like playing "Where's Waldo?" in the ocean, but Waldo is... well, most of the fish. Hold onto your wallets, because in 2010 alone, we Americans splurged $80.2 billion on seafood. That's a lot of fish and chips, folks! But here's where Target swims in to save the day: They're committing to 100% sustainable seafood. It's like they're the superhero the ocean didn't know it needed! The infographic wraps up with a catchy little phrase at the bottom: "Turning the tide on unsustainable fishing practices." I mean, who doesn't love a good ocean pun, especially when it's about saving our finned friends? This visual feast is more than just a pretty picture – it's a wake-up call with a side of hope. Target's not just talking the talk; they're swimming the swim. By going all-in on sustainable seafood, they're showing that big retailers can make a big splash in conservation. So, next time you're pushing your cart down Target's aisles, give a little nod to the seafood section. Those fish fillets and shrimp bags aren't just dinner – they're little symbols of a sea change in how we treat our oceans. Remember, folks: When it comes to saving our seas, we're all in the same boat. Or should I say, the same target? 😉 Keep it green, keep it clean, and let's make waves in sustainable living!
