Why should we care and protect our oceans? …
The oceans on planet earth produce over half of the oxygen we breathe to live – AND, at any given moment, they contain more than 97% of the world’s water. Oceans are responsible for at least 1/6th of animal protein people eat on a day to day basis. Living oceans also absorb C02 (carbon dioxide) from the atmosphere and aid in climate change impacts.
WOW – and that is just scraping the surface.
My name is Allison West. I am a student at Concordia University – and the purpose of this blog project is to help promote the cause of saving the ocean, keeping them clean and not contributing to negative impact.
I am using the hashtag #savethefishies to help promote awareness on campus and online. Let’s create a conversation.
PLASTIC. PLASTIC. PLASTIC. That is our main culprit here people.
It is easy to think that your one plastic drink cup or straw a day might not have an effect. You actually probably don’t even think about it at all! We are so used to consuming plastic everyday – we really don’t stop to think what the collective impact has on our surroundings and planet.

This blog is meant to be a space to be informative, start a conversation, and offer tangible ways a to contribute in a positive way, even as just one person.
