OK, so we live in a consumer society. Nothing wrong with that, is there? Unfortunately, we often consume far greater resources than we are able to reproduce. However, every once in a while there comes a chance to do something nice. A chance to do something meaningful not only for ourselves but for the entire world around us as well.
That is among the reasons I signed up as an Ocean Defender with Greenpeace.
The Ocean Defender campaign is about raising public awareness to environmental issues concerning the world’s oceans. Perhaps the most vital natural resource to our planet, directly linked to the survival of life on Earth.
Today, the world’s oceans are in great danger. A valuable source of oxygen, food and water which we continue to senselessly destroy. Greenpeace aims to have one million Ocean Defenders by the end of the year. You can be one too, it doesn’t cost you anything to sign up and the more people you tell about it, the better our habitat’s chances for survival will be.
Sign up here, make a difference, and follow the Greenpeace research ship Esperanza online, as it travels across the oceans on this year long expedition.

Yes, Greenpeace wallpapers are always amazing - that one included. The web camera aboard the Esperanza showing images of the oceans throughout the journey is another feature I like.
I hope the million Ocean Defenders goal is reached and surpassed.
