IPSO - Every Second Breath

Any of you, wherever you are, whatever you are doing can pause now and connect directly with the ocean. Just breathe.

That breath came from the sea.

  1. Thank you so much for initiating this conference and for hitting the headlines with your report. I read deeply and continually on this subject and I know that the accuracy of your report is undeniable - no scaremongering, perhaps even conservative in parts.
    There's abundant evidence from many disciplines that we are well established in the anthropocene mass extinction, and I'm pessimistic about the chances of our aggressive and selfish species finding a collective will to take any mitigating action - and equally pessimistic that mitigation is still possible. Nonetheless I deeply hope that all the proposals in your report are adopted urgently.
    Thank you all for your work.

  2. I'm sure if you talk to an average person about the issue, he'll probably end up saying: "I'll eat meat then".
    The problem is that most of the ppl don't even care and don't want to see the problems.
    Sometime I wonder if we are a species that is worth to stay on earth

  3. Excellent diagnosis......incomplete prescription. How can you not mention population control? Or, mankind's voracious appetite for cheap energy (fossil fuels of course). Without treating these underlying causes, the patient will expire.
