Summary:
Dan Barber is the chef at New York's Blue Hill restaurant, where he practices a kind of close-to-the-land cooking married to agriculture and stewardship of the earth. In this video, Dan is talking about how to keep fish on the menu and maintain the sustainability. He has been exposed to a lot of fish in his life, but only two are his favourite: the first one is from the passion, the second fish is a different kind of love story. Due to some kinds of fish that we love will be extinct, aquaculture and fish farming are becoming part of our future. A farm that doesn't feed its animals, a farm measures its success on the health of its predators. What we need now is a new concept of agriculture, a real food. Today , billions of people are in empty stomach, the basic reason is that the uneven distribution of the whole is not counted by the tonnage. Our food today is being threatened, not because the supply is decreasing, but because the resources are decreasing. Farmers are no longer just a producer, but relationhips experts, because they are also experts on taste.

Recent years, the growth of modern fisheries becomes a necessary requirement of economic and social development. As the world population increases and the quality of life continuously improves, the extent of human dependence on fisheries is also growing. The development of the ecological balance of human life has a great impact on the future. Not only the human but also some animals are suffering from hunger. The environmental problems are most deserving of our attention. More and more people become the environmental volunteers and make people concern about the destruction of the ecological environment. As for me, I cherish the environment we live in which we can get close to each other and love one another. We should take measures to reduce the environmental degradation by human causes. Just like Dan with his favourite fish, We should live in harmony with the environment and get along well with all the species, especially endangered animals.

I strongly agree with Iris. I think this is a really good speech for everyone who can know more about our environment. I think not only our country, but also the whole world. Actually everyone knows that we are facing a big problem – global warming. It is a huge challenge for us since it causes different kind of pollutions. The pollutions also cause lots of problems such as lack of clean water or food. According to Dan, we should be considered about 1 billion hungers. I think we are so lucky because we can have a better life than others. It’s true that people should be concerned out environment, but we can’t ignore 1 billion hungers anymore. We should cherish everything which we own, especially food. I think Dan used fish to be an example to tell us that food is a great thing. He loves fish because it is good for our health and delicious. However, people should protect environment well. I hope everyone can have a healthy life!
ReplyDeleteIris, I like your idea about helping environment because not just fish that have problems, but also others animals too. I looked up in endanger animal lost and it was surprise me. It makes me recognise that humans have destroyed environment a lot. Most of the reasons that these animal are endanger are humans. Humans carelessly use environment sources. For instance, in the past, we never concerned about environment problem, so we never though about reuse or renew things at all. We just use it and waste it. As a result, we cut down many trees and destroy animals’ habitat, also environment. I think it is better if we make educate young people care about environment and may be we can help each other safe the environments. In addition, if we all concern about environment’s problems and try to safe it, we would solve the hungry problem in the future; after we have enriched environment.
