To me, over-fishing is the greatest threat to the global environment, because if the oceans die, all life on land dies with it. Japan Times just reported this Wednesday on the Bluefin tuna problem actually: http://search.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/fe20081008rh.html YES, of course, Tsukiji and ALL fish-eaters are threats to the Bluefin tuna and all other fish.

It was very strange to try and grab glimpses of fireworks in the narrow openings between tall buildings.
