The Millenium Development Goals, agreed to by every member country of the United Nations in 2000, call for the worldwide eradication of poverty and hunger, universal education, gender equality and huge improvements in health by 2015: two years ago!!
Can we do this without making the planet warmer?
Let's think big and imagine how we can confront the climate crisis in a way that is realistic about the other major problems that we face as a planet and as a species on it.

Ocean Acidification
Ocean acidification is a large problem in today's society because as the pH of the ocean lowers, the marine life is put at danger. Currently coral bleaching and shell erosion is a large problem. Many shellfish are at risk because the acidification breaks down their shells over time. Coral bleaching is a massive issue because coral provides shelter for many marine animals and without it the ocean will change extensively.
I appreciate your chance to spread awareness. I feel as if the marine isn't getting enough attention as its suppose to and little do people know that the marine life is slowly dying off! Over time, we're going to lose all of this which is so important to our earth and cycle.
Without the shellfish in our ocean it would be detrimental. And without our coral reefs we would lose such and important and beautiful part of our ocean, I would love to learn more about what we can do to prevent it.
This is such a sad problem to tackle because most people are unaware of the importance of our oceans. Especially with agriculture becoming increasingly unsustainable, having a good seafood source needs to be another option for food security.
