This is it. We are out of time. In 20 years the oceans will be lifeless.
There are five trillion pieces of plastic in the ocean already and every year we add 300 million more. It’s an incomprehensible amount of trash. Ocean plastic breaks down into microscopic pieces that are ingested by the fish we eat. It goes into our water sources. It goes into us. It’s full of toxins. Every single day we lose species, some that have not even been discovered yet. How many? A number too big to absorb.
“I am a designer but also a strategist, that’s my background. In 2012, after I met Captain Paul Watson – the founder of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society and one of the founders of Greenpeace – my partner and I decided to turn our design company into a new form of environmental organisation. I was sitting in Paul’s office and he was telling me that in 2048 the ocean will be dead if we continue as we are. The idea that the oceans are dying was too big for me, it shocked me.
“The planet is already broken. We’re not looking at something that will happen in 100 years, it happened already. Climate change is real. We missed the deadline. We’re already in the red zone. I’d say we have 15 years, maximum 20... the youth are our biggest hope.” This feeling of being overpowered, overwhelmed, frustrated and sad about it – I think if you allow yourself to dive into that feeling and to really explore what this means to you, if you go deep into that and confront yourself, you’ll find strength. If you give the best you can, even in little steps, then you will feel joy. It’s not about solving it all, because this is too big to even comprehend. It’s about the intention and energy. You have to start with one thing.
