While my premise is that planet Earth is inevitably headed toward a mass extinction, I by no means advocate any sort of passive resignation. We owe it to the planet to not give up on preservation of its natural elements. And so I honor the impactful work of the Ocean Conservancy in helping our oceans.

In my other non-blogging life I beach clean every Sunday with a local group here in North Cornwall, UK. We have been going for just over a year now and have collected over two and a half tonnes of plastic and fishing industry waste from just the one small beach.

Keep highlighting the importance of it all.
