Using Direct Action to Stop Illegal Fishing, Protect Our Oceans, and Save Our Planet - Sea Shepherd pt 1

53m · We Can Remake The World · 06 Jun 11:00

When the going gets tough the activists get tougher. Our oceans are in distress as we continue to overfish marine ecosystems around the world. 90% of whales, 85-99% of shark species, trillions of fish, and countless other ocean animals have been lost due to overfishing, much of which operates outside of the law. Illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing is a major enabler of the exploitation of our oceans but the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society is standing in the way. Literally. By using direct action techniques and what founder, Captain Paul Watson, calls “aggressive nonviolence”, Sea Shepherd crews document and disrupt illegal fishing and whaling on the open water. Featured on the popular TV series, “Whale Wars”, and in documentaries like Seaspiracy on Netflix, Sea Shepherd ships send illegal fishing boats running as they attempt to cover up their destruction of wildlife ecosystems and human rights violations. Tune in to learn more about the crucial work Sea Shepherd is doing to protect our oceans, which also means protecting our planet, and how you can get involved today.

CHALLENGE: The Earth Warrior challenge. Make a choice to alter your habits or behaviors in a way that benefits the Earth. If you eat seafood, or animal products of any kind, you can choose to remove them from your diet completely, or partially if you need a transition period. Replace disposables with reusables for good. If you have the choice between car, train, bus, or plane, choose train or bus – or bike. Or build volunteering with an Earth-focused organization into your routine. Choose something that you know will have a powerful impact on the health of our Earth and take action on it that you can sustain. Tell other people about the choice you’ve made and why you’ve made it. The more of us who become Earth warriors the more hope we'll see by making our hope active and alive. 

TAKEAWAYS: 1: We are more powerful than we realize.  2: When we take a stand we can transform the world. 3: Hope without action is lifeless. We must take our hope and make it active.

From Fear to Action, From Poison to Cure

"Anxiety keeps us blind. Fear prevents us from the awareness of all the good around us. All the potential and possibilities. All of the solutions."

Nature has a lot to teach us. In countless traditions, Nature is seen as "the great teacher". But what can Nature teach us now, today, in a world full of so many challenges? And how can we apply what we learn to actually make a difference?

Today we explore how to get past fear and stop focusing on all the negative things going on around us. How to move past the poisons in the world - the conflict and the destruction and the scary stuff - and instead focus on the solutions to our problems. The antidotes to the poison we see in the world.

Join us as we look for new inspiration from Nature. Inspiration that can help carry us forward past the difficulties of our world and on to the next phase, if we can just keep our eyes open to the possibilities all around us.
