8 JUNE: WORLD OCEANS DAY

Sustaining what sustains us!

This year’s theme is: Catalysing Action for our Ocean and Climate and serves as a reminder of the critical importance of protecting our oceans and marine life.

The ocean is our world’s greatest wonder, a seemingly endless source of sustenance, potential, wisdom, and awe.  From the marine life that contributes to our oxygen, medicines and food, to its natural infrastructures that isolate carbon and buffer shores, every diverse element of the ocean supports humanity in a multitude of ways. But instead of acting with appreciation and amazement towards the ocean, we have acted with ignorance and greed. Despite countless warnings, we have knowingly depleted its abundance, polluted its depths, and devastated the ecosystems that we depend on. We can no longer take the ocean for granted.

Take a journey of discovery through the ocean’s vastness, to awaken new depths of understanding, compassion, collaboration and commitment for the ocean and all it sustains. To expand our perspectives and appreciation for our blue planet, built new foundations for our relationship to the ocean, and ignited a wave of action toward necessary change in a sustainable manner is imperative. Now is the time to raise awareness of the benefits humankind derives from the ocean and our individual and collective duty to use its resources sustainably and realise the impact of human actions on the ocean.

My Green Life supports the call to action to commit to sustainable practice by sourcing simple goodness, bringing chemical free, eco-friendly products to the market in refillable containers thus reducing with single-use plastic.
