BGW’s Sustainable Speaker Series presents Paul Greenberg, August 18th, 6:30 p.m.,
at the Enoch Pratt Southeast Anchor Library.

In Four Fish Paul Greenberg explores our relationship with the oceans, honing in on four varieties of fish staples – salmon, bass, cod, and tuna. Greenberg travels from wild salmon runs in Alaska to the massive fish farms in Vietnam, from the Long Island Sound to the fjords of Norway, to uncover the myths, misconceptions, and cultural precedents that persist about fish. He explains why these well-known types are not our healthiest, most cost-effective or environmentally sound choices and leads us to better alternatives.

Presented in partnership by Baltimore Green Works and the Enoch Pratt Free Library.
Sponsored by Lorenz Inc. and the Living Classrooms Foundation.
