Saving Our Seas with Doug Hines of Atlantic Natural Foods

In this episode of The Vegetarian Zen podcast we welcome Doug Hines, CEO of Atlantic Natural Foods, maker of sustainable, affordable, convenient plant-based products.

We talk to Doug about his experiences at Bumblebee; about how the commercial fishing industry is destroying our oceans; and about how we, as consumers, can help ensure we’re doing our part to help save the planet.

People don't realize that 70% of our oxygen comes from the ocean. If we keep killing our ocean, we won't be able to breathe.
