raslin Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 From BBC News today: Plans to send Scottish seafood on a 12,000-mile trip to Thailand to be peeled before being sold in the UK have been condemned by environmentalists. Young's Seafood said the move, which will result in 120 job losses at its plant in Annan, was necessary due to "prohibitive wage costs" in the UK. Friends of the Earth Scotland described the decision as "madness". It said every tonne of scampi shipped to Thailand would generate half of tonne of carbon dioxide emissions.
