The planet doesn't need a handful of perfect environmentalists. It needs billions of us doing what we can, learning as we go, and always striving to do better.
We’re focusing on solutions.
More than ever, we’ll be spotlighting solutions to human-made threats the Ocean faces and sharing how our Ocean is at the heart of it all.
Some of the most impactful solutions to the climate crisis (like cutting greenhouse gas emissions and transitioning to renewable energy) simply aren’t actionable to most of us on the daily. So, what is?
🌊 Understand the problems. When we have facts, we can educate and empower.
🌊 Participate in collective action by pressuring governments and corporations to change their policies
🌊 Recognise your power
🌊 Challenge your lifestyle choice. Do you unnecessarily use plastic? Are you living as sustainably as you can?
🌊 Ask Questions. Try asking awareness raising questions: Could we get the train instead?
