We are at a unique stage in our history. Never before have we had such an awareness of what we are doing to the planet, and never before have we had the power to do something about it.
We have a responsibility, every one of us. We may think we live a long way from the oceans, but we don't. What we actually do here, has a direct effect on the oceans—and what the oceans do then reflects back on us.
The future of life on Earth depends on our ability to take action. Many individuals are doing what they can, but real success can only come if there is a change in our societies and our economics and in our politics.
The truth is: the natural world is changing. And we are totally dependent on that world. It provides our food, water and air. It is the most precious thing we have and we need to defend it.
