Roz Savage, British ocean rower and environmental campaigner, talks about how she made big changes in her lifestyle and a management consulting career to become the first woman ever to row solo across three oceans on behalf of Mother Earth.  The ocean caused her to develop courage, tenacity, perseverance, and the strength to transcend self-imposed limits.

She urges each one of us to step up and take responsibility for our environmental impact.

In this video Annie Leonard emphasis the commitment of Greenpeace USA to environmental and social justice: "Our core values are reflected in our environmental campaign work: We 'bear witness' to environmental destruction in a peaceful, non-violent manner. We use non-violent confrontation to raise the level and quality of public debate. In exposing threats to the environment and finding solutions we have no permanent allies or adversaries. We ensure our financial independence from political or commercial interests. We seek solutions to environmental dilemmas and promote open, informed debate about society's environmental choices."

Inspired by the launch of the World Resources Institute's (WRI)  Global Forest Watch, Ruth Ann Barrett of EarthSayers.tv explores the concept of an Oceans Advocacy platform addressing the age old question, How Many fishes in the Sea, by bringing together oceans advocates in one spot and with access to databases, research, maps, voices of leaders and experts, including those proponents of a circular economy. A whole systems approach to problem solving - a sustainability awareness perspective.  

The goals and objectives of the OceansAdvocacy.com are detailed in the printed presentation available here.  A companion paper, On the Importance of Search: What EarthSayers.tv is Teaching Me is available here.
