I saw this movie on Friday called The End of the Line. If you know anything about the movie, you might have guessed that it was what inspired my last post. It wasn't. I started writing that post about three months ago when I read about the plight of the Northern Bluefin Tuna.
Then I gave up on this blog - I didn't write another thing for three months.
The movie inspired me to finish the post. It inspired me to keep this blog going, it inspired me to do what I can to spread the word about issues that matter to the future of this planet. I don't know if anyone reads this blog, but on the off chance that someone stumbles across it and reads something that changes their view on the issues I believe in, I'll keep writing.
Now I know most people don't want to see amazing animals like the Bluefin Tuna or the Northern Cod fished into extinction. Most people find the animals of this planet intriguing and beautiful and want them around for their children to see. But most people simply don't have the time to worry about things like this all the time. They're too worried about feeding their own family, keeping a roof over their heads and keeping their job. And that's fair enough too. That's why movies like this are so important - they lay it all out for us in black & white and they show us easy ways we can help fix the problem.
This movie isn't just about Tuna.
This movie isn't against fishing.
This movie is about the future of our oceans.
