Yesterday was World Oceans Day – for some, this might simply be another awareness day, but did you know that every single person on this planet depends on the ocean to survive?
It provides us with oxygen, food, livelihoods, and is our best ally to address the climate crisis. A healthy ocean means a healthy planet – and healthy humans! But right now, the ocean is in crisis, its health is at a tipping point and we must all strive to protect and restore it – on World Oceans Day and every other day as well!
It is estimated that 5.25 trillion pieces of plastic waste are currently in the ocean – that’s the equivalent of 1345 blue whales, the largest mammal on Earth!
