In the great scheme of things, what matters is not how long you live but why you live, what you stand for and what you are willing to die for.

All consumption should be local. No food products need to be transported over hundreds of miles to market. All commercial fishing should be abolished. If local communities need to fish the fish should be caught individually by hand. We need to stop flying, stop driving cars, and jetting around on marine recreational vehicles.

We need to radically and intelligently reduce human populations to fewer than one billion.

We need to stop burning fossil fuels and utilize only wind, water, and solar power with all generation of power coming from individual or small community units like windmills, waterwheels, and solar panels.

We are literally eating the oceans alive and there are simply not enough fish to continue to feed an ever expanding population of humanity.
Paul Watson

My position is this. If we can't protect sanctuaries, if we can't save the whales, the sharks, the fish, our oceans will die.
