TED Prize wish: Protect our oceans - Sylvia Earle

View full lesson: ed.ted.com/lessons/sylvia-earl...
Legendary ocean researcher Sylvia Earle shares astonishing images of the ocean -- and shocking stats about its rapid decline -- as she makes her TED Prize wish: that we will join her in protecting the vital blue heart of the planet. Sylvia Earle has been at the frontier of deep ocean exploration for four decades. She's led more than 50 undersea expeditions, and she's been an equally tireless advocate for our oceans and the creatures who live in them.

Thank you so much for your inspiration.

    Sylvia Earle - you are my hero and an inspiration. Show us more of the deep blue. Show the world. Show the countries who are raping the ocean, and what it means to them. Let them know they are ruining it for the whole, awesomely beautiful living machine... the planet Earth.

    This only makes me think, how disgusting, greedy and selfish a human can be. In fact, some are disgusting enough to actually fight Eco-friendly projects and consider them nonsense! Just like weapon makers and cigarette factory owners, They don't give a damn about a soul as much as they care about the revenues and the dollars out of harvesting millions of lives everyday. Yet most of us are just standing still without giving any less damn about it. We need a true revolution on the way we think.

    You probably heard this before, but oceans are shared with everyone. It is conversely evidence, why socialism is the problem and why you need private ownership.

    Unfortunately, the solution "may not cost" the few jobs that exist (increasing unemployment). And to keep jobs, we need to get money. Nobody can do anything starving. If someone make the project economically viable, investors will show up.

    We are worried about our own personal habbitat. A clean and safe place for Us to live. The world has been through a lot worse then us. It will clean itself, it will renew itself and we will be forgotten. Dont worry about hurting the planet, just worry about being able to survive on it. Even our most destructive of forces, Nuclear Weapons, only lasts a few hundred years before being purged by the earth.

    Thats kinda of an ignorant way to look at things. I agree that after a hundreds of thousands of years the earth could be healther than it is now, but while we are living on it we need to maintain homeostasis sort speak.crippling our natral resources and eradicating other life forms will no dobt lead to our own extinction.
