“If we save the ocean, we save ourselves,” says Sir David who this weekend admitted in an exclusive interview with The Times that he “won’t get to see the ocean’s recovery and restoration” but that the ‘young children seen playing on the beach today’ very well may do. At the very least, they will get to witness “perhaps the most consequential time for the human species in the past 10,000 years.”
*This glorious bloke plants many trees for distant children to shelter and pause under.*

Attempts have been made to control its damage since the #Tudors
