Traitor Joe here. I figured out how to infiltrate the Greenpeace blogs. Ha, ha, ha. I figure, if I can deplete the oceans with my seafood purchasing practices, then, surely I can mess with the interweb and get a blog or two up on the Greenpeace site. It really was easy.

So, I'm here to tell you to just ignore what these environmentalists have to say about my stores. My freezer cases may be full of red list species, but I am asking you not to care. It is easy for me to trick my customers. I just tell them I care about the environment, throw on a hawaiian shirt so it looks like I am fun-loving and people just believe whatever I say. Suckers!

For your Fourth of July partying -- hurry up and get to Trader Joe's to stock up on red list seafood. My favorite fish, the chilean sea bass is a rare fish. There are so few left. I caught and mounted the last one I caught because it may have been the last.
Insincerely yours,
Traitor Joe

Hi everyone, I'm Traitor Joe. Visit my one-stop-shop for ocean destruction. Can you see through the green haze I have used to mask the truth about my seafood purchases? You see, I have a bad habit of greenwashing. Instead of telling you how I am destroying the oceans, I bend the truth and tell you that I do everything "green" and look out for the well being of the Earth. But, if you dig a little deeper (and I hope you won't) you will see that I have a treasure chest (or freezer case) full of red list seafood. Oops. How did that get in my store?
