When I finally got to go ride the mountains in Japan, it blew my mind.
If I seem like a radical it's because I have seen things that others have not.
With every drop of water you drink, every breath you take, you're connected to the sea. No matter where on Earth you live.
People ask: Why should I care about the ocean? Because the ocean is the cornerstone of earth's life support system, it shapes climate and weather. It holds most of life on earth. 97% of earth's water is there. It's the blue heart of the planet - we should take care of our heart. It's what makes life possible for us. We still have a really good chance to make things better than they are. They won't get better unless we take the action and inspire others to do the same thing. No one is without power. Everybody has the capacity to do something.
We need to respect the oceans and take care of them as if our lives depended on it. Because they do.
The oceans deserve our respect and care, but you have to know something before you can care about it.
Our past, our present, and whatever remains of our future, absolutely depend on what we do now.

I am old, Gandalf. I don't look it, but I am beginning to feel it in my heart of hearts. Well-preserved indeed! Why, I feel all thin, sort of stretched, if you know what I mean: like butter that has been scraped over too much bread. That can't be right. I need a change, or something.
