Episode 11 | What a Fish Knows

How To Save The Planet With Books

Your next holiday is the perfect time to lose yourself in a good book. And let’s face it, a great page-turner is the ultimate joy. ‘How To Save The Planet With Books’ is the ultimate reading list for all you sustainable travelers out there. I hope it brings you what it’s brought me. Truth, Hope, and Resolution. Enjoy!

This week I finished reading: What A Fish Knows: The Inner Lives Of Our Underwater Cousins By Jonathan Balcombe.

A myth-busting book packed with insightful scientific research, it is likely to change the way you look at our underwater cousins forever.

Discover in the video above why eating a tuna fish sandwich is no different than eating a wild tiger steak. Join me as I unpack the incredible parallels between the business world and reef-cleaner fish and enjoy a fresh look at these remarkable creatures in all their breathtaking diversity and beauty. 

Despite there being more than 30,000 species of fish – more than all mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians combined, we rarely consider how fish think, feel, and behave. We’ve been pre-conditioned to think of fishes as objects. Not as beings with complex social lives, feelings, and memories.

I don’t think anyone could read this book and not look fish big or small in a completely different light.

If you feel inspired to find out more or order this wonderful book, fantastic 🙂 Here is an easy, quick LINK.

A small % helps to keep this self-funded series going.

“We hear no screams and see no tears when their mouths are impaled and their bodies pulled from the water… Crying out in pain is as ineffective for a fish in the air as crying out in pain is for us when we are submerged.”

Jonathan Balcombe
