It Doesn't Matter Where On Earth You

Burning Fossil Fuels Has Given Us The Gift Of Seeing Ourselves In New Ways. But That Very Gift Now Enables Us To See We've Got To Change Our Ways.

I'm Not Against Extracting A Modest Amount Of Wildlife Out Of The Ocean For Human Consumption, But I Am Really Concerned About The Large-scale Industrial Fishing That Engages In Destructive Practices Like Trawling And Longlining.

There Is A Terribly Terrestrial Mindset About What We Need To Do To Take Care Of The Planet-as If The Ocean Somehow Doesn't Matter Or Is So Big, So Vast That It Can Take Care Of Itself, Or That There Is Nothing That We Could Possibly Do That We Could Harm The Ocean...we Are Learning Otherwise.

When I Arrived On The Planet, There Were Only Two Billion. Wildlife Was More Abundant, We Were Less So; Now The Situation Is Reversed.

Most Of Life On Earth Has A Deep Past, Much Deeper Than Ours. And We Have Benefited From The Distillation Of All Preceding History, Call It Evolutionary History If You Will.
