Thinking about the future of the oceans and what we can do on World Environment Day
Hello, this is 🌊 Hokule'a Shonan
June 5 is World Environment Day 🌏
For those of us who face the sea every day and work to deliver the charm of the sea,
This is a special day with a very important meaning.
When you hear the word "environmental issues," you may feel that it is a distant story.
Issues that should be addressed by the government and companies, and what experts should consider
It's easy to think like that.
The truth is that environmental issues do not belong to "anyone" but to each of us.
For example, straws and plastic shopping bags from convenience stores that you used casually.
Even if you think you have thrown it away properly, it will be blown away by the wind and washed away by the rain.
Thereare you may end up in the sea.
As a result, more and more plastic waste continues to grow in the ocean.
If we don't do anything,
It is said that 😢 by 2050, the amount of plastic in the ocean will exceed the amount of fish
And the fish that accidentally ate the plastic died,
Sea turtles are dying, whales are dying, and seabirds are dying.
Is that the kind of future we really want? 🐢🐟🐋🕊️
What we can do doesn't have to be big.
However, each of them has the power to change the future in a big way.
For example
✅ Don't "opt" for single-use plastic products
✅ "Picking up" plastic waste that has fallen on the Coast
Even the smallest actions can eventually lead to big changes.
One thing 🌱 you can do today
In Hokule'a Shonan, through diving and snorkeling,
I feel that it is our mission to focus on and convey both the beauty of the ocean and the challenges we are currently facing.
Passing on the beautiful ocean to the next generation.
Why don't you start doing just one thing today?
