Our Insatiable Appetite For Fossil Fuels And

We Understand That We Must Make Peace With Nature - That Our Lives Depend On It.

We Want To Think Of Ourselves As Truly Special Creatures That Are Unique In The Universe And, Well, We Are. And We Have That Capacity To Wonder, To Question, And To See Ourselves In The Context Of All Of Life That Has Preceded The Present Time, And All That Will Go Off Far Into The Future, One Way Or Another.

We Are Depleting This Immense Diversity And Abundance Of Life, And It Matters Tremendously For The Future Of The Planet.

Nearly All Of The Major Kinds Of Life, Divisions Of Life, Phyla Of Animals, Occur In The Sea. Only About Half Of Them Can Make It To Land Or Freshwater.

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.
