World Oceans Day

Well today is World Oceans Day and we are asked to think about how important our oceans are to our existence and how we are making such an impact on our eco-system.

Human beings have had more of an impact and made more changes to this planet in the past 100 years than we have done for the entire amount of time we have lived here. Technology and population growth have expanded at such an incredible rate that we have created a huge shift in the natural balance and order of things.




We know this.

And happily many of us are beginning to learn to make changes that will help stop the negative progression and allow us to move towards restoring that balance.

Today we are asked to aim our thoughts to the oceans which cover the majority of our earth's surface and give us life.

Don't buy a plastic bottle today! Don't eat a fish today! Don't dump a chemical down the drain today and hey, turn the tap off. Especially today think about the ways each of us are able to limit our negative impact on our oceans. Pay attention and make small changes today that will become a habit for everyday.

These images have been done by local Vacouver eco-artist (that's my title for her) Robi and you can see her work and check out her blog at: www.blue-lantern.ca/studio (just click on one of her pictures)

Nice huh?
