😲🤯 She is a wonderful speaker! I know our oceans need help, not simply some help, but seriously massive amounts of help and now! I hear a lot of the "Is it useful?, IDK what it is so KILL it!". I drive about 12 miles round trip to the closest ♻️ location, which is nothing, I look at it like a nice little 15-20 min break for so me time! Shockingly for a fair ammount of selfish and stubborn people it is. That would be completely inconvenient. Dude! This entire moving, insanely scary, impossibly beautiful and living entity we call earth is amazing and you are incapable of giving a single second of your precious time to save it? Even to save yourself?! I also constantly pick up trash I see out exploring with my son and on weekends my partner joins in while home. But now I feel like a p.o.s😞. There needs to be ppl speaking out, we should all be! THANK YOU BOTH 💯👏👏👏 Thank you and every single person that TALKS about this. on a large scale such as this or maybe to your neighbors and co-worke

*Asking the Question that I had thought out of logical bounds most of my life, yet Occams Razor is not leaving much else to ask... It appears potentially probable that those in power and with knowledge might have determined that we had already gone beyond what can be fixed or addressed as a species concerning consumption and pollution and that the global cooperation necessary to stop the match towards total collapse could not be accomplished by 1980, and that we have all been marching towards the very real end of our civilization in ignorance? That Gen X was doomed when we were born? That the resources are being redirected to these large bunkers and we have not, as a collective, been given the information because we, the mob, would descend into chaos. Is it possible that 2-400 people decided on their own to allow us to live in ignorance of the facts, or have them obscured so that the resources indeex the resources necessary to battle for our planet have been squirreled away on a massiv
