facts answers spots
If you don't know an answer, a fact, a statistic - make it up on the spot.
environmental movement musician
Musicians have made incredible contributions to the conservation and environmental movement and continue to do so, more than ever.
warrior fighting odds
I do what I do because it is the right thing to do. I am a warrior, and it is the way of the warrior to fight superior odds.
marine thinking hunting
Seafood is simply a socially acceptable form of bush meat. We condemn Africans for hunting monkeys and mammalian and bird species from the jungle yet the developed world thinks nothing of hauling in magnificent wild creatures like swordfish, tuna, halibut, shark, and salmon for our meals. The fact is that the global slaughter of marine wildlife is simply the largest massacre of wildlife on the planet.
animal environment harmony
Intelligence is the ability of a species to live in harmony with its environment.
jesus book people
This is the contradiction we have in the media. We love vigilantes: Batman, Tarzan, Green Arrow - the comic books and the TV shows are filled with vigilantes. We love to promote it. Jesus Christ was a vigilante. We admire these people, but we don't want to be associated with them.
passion sea volunteer
It is true that many of the Sea Shepherd crewmembers are inexperienced, but the fact is that these volunteers bring a passion to the project that cannot be found in a hired crew.
dream skills use
Follow your dreams and use your natural-born talents and skills to make this a better world for tomorrow.
ocean planets can-not
WE CAN NOT LIVE ON THIS PLANET WITH DEAD OCEANS. IF OUR OCEANS DIE, WE DIE.
media use culture
We live in a media culture and whoever controls and influences and uses media the best has the power for change.
riding meat vegan
A vegan riding a hummer contributes less to greenhouse gas emissions than a meat eater riding a bicycle.
animal law broken
We should never feel like we're going too far in breaking the law, because whatever laws you break to liberate animals or to protect the environment are very insignificant compared to the laws that are broken by that parliament of whores in Washington. They are the biggest lawbreakers, the biggest destroyers, the biggest mass-murderers on this planet right now.
ocean marine civilization
Unless we stop the degradation of our oceans, marine ecological systems will begin collapsing and when enough of them fail, the oceans will die. And if the oceans die, then civilization collapses and we all die
ocean sharks whales
My position is this. If we can't protect sanctuaries, if we can't save the whales, the sharks, the fish, our oceans will die.
