Its been about a month and a half since I joined the rainbow warrior again.
A month and a half filled with quiet reflections on the how and the whys of the universe.
We have spent much of the past month doing underwater researches in Sweden and Norway. Trying to find ways to convince the public that overfishing is not the best way to get cheap fish to their tables; using pretty corals and bubble reefs to put our point across.
I used to think that climate change is the biggest danger to our present generation, but this month has made me realize that its just the shadow that clouds our future. In this shadow lurk many monsters that we still have to deal with. Toxics , overfishing, unsustainable development.... these are the words that will shape the destiny of our children. These will be the profanities that our generation will face tomorrow, as we leave them behind in our legacy.
the fishes are disappearing from the seas faster than we know. Will they recover? will the dead come back to life? Mother earth still has some surprises up her sleeve. I hope a living ocean is one of them, the alternative is too scary to be true.
I have been delving into the history of Greenpeace, looking for answers , stories and a direction in the ether. I am still looking....
In the meantime the environment is under attack as always , and corporations have found ways to paint themselves green to sell their products . We have a more difficult job of trying to wipe the cheap toxic green off the dirty ones , so that the planet lives on. I hope , pray and beg that we succeed.

to many more new beginnings... but yeah.even as we all fight climate change is probably the biggest challenge humankind faces, but the immediates of what we have done to the earth are going to soon demand some uncomfortable answers...
hang in there green warrior..
Seems to be a sad situation,where people who are the destroyers(unknowingly) outnumber those who are there to save.We need to be educated about our environment(at a large scale).Not just in schools,but also the common man.....which needs a socially and financially stable world(god knows if that will happen in another 2000 years).
I think that your blog has educated me somewhat....about the things we should be considered about.Rather than being bothered about who will win the IPL.
Thanks a lot!!
P.S. I am guilty of environmental crimes, and I want to mend my ways.
Turns out my hope is the same as your hope. Hats off to you 'cause you're doing something about it!
Miss you man!
