One of the first lessons I learned from First Nations communities was about the importance of respect. Without respect for each other, we don't listen and we fail to learn. But respect should extend beyond our fellow humans, to all the green things that capture the sun's energy and power the rest of life on Earth.
As a professional angler I have the ability to identify the species of fish I'm served, something I put to use when the halibut I had ordered arrived and I could immediately tell it was a snapper. Alarmed by how often this happens, I decided I needed to tell someone and try to do something about this.
