A little whale watching season update, science, and some thoughts….
Whales migrate thousands of miles each year, leaving behind only a ripple, a splash, and the fading imprint of their powerful fluke churning on the ocean’s surface.
Whales are the earths biggest climate activists and they do their part just by p**ping! Whale p**p is the perfect fertilizer for phytoplankton. These tiny ocean plants capture 40% of our carbon dioxide emissions. When whales die, their bodies sink to the bottom of the sea floor which is known as a whale fall, storing carbon and nourishing all different types of life below.
Meanwhile, I see how humans choke rivers, acidify the ocean and atmosphere and drowning the earth in microplastics, noise, and light pollution.
We humans can’t seem to touch anything without leaving a scar. When we die we will leave nothing behind but a scorched earth and a new generation forced to inherit a dying world.
Nature knows her balance. We remain deaf to her quiet voice. She is patiently waiting for us, for you, and for me take notice and to learn.
