Grocery stores are largely responsible for relying on supply chains that disregard the environment as well as human rights.

What can we do?

We can stop buying fish from grocery stores that disregard basic environmental and human right protections. Click HERE to sign the Greenpeace petition to US giant grocery store chains to stop selling tuna linked to environmental destruction.

Do you want to know where your grocery store stands in the tuna scorecard? Check out here the Greenpeace report to find out.
