Ever seen TED talks? Most of us are already aware our ocean playground is in jeopardy. World renowned ocean guru Sylvia Earle gave an award winning TED talk that all of us should devote time to listening to:
So what? Im just one person what can I do!? Two choices: nothing - and watch our seas become acidic as the marine ecosystems breakdown and all life perishes; or something - positive action - at the very least talking about it with other people, showing them this clip; changing the way we consume these resources - being conscious about the industries we support with our dollar; influence other people's behaviour; write letters to key places (surf mags etc); and finally, get politically active. The stakes are high and the consequences are real - even in New Zealand our marine ecosystems are suffering dramatically - we simply cannot allow a 'business as usual' approach to the raping and pillaging of our oceans. Every good surfer/ocean enthusiast understands this.
