[ID: "Epic handshake" meme of two muscular arms locked in a firm handshake, one with the caption "Plastic straws are the issue", the other "Synthetic leather is the issue". Where their hands are clamped together it reads "Meat-eaters not wanting to face the fact that the number 1 issue affecting animals is whether or not they get farmed & eaten and if their (and our) habitats get destroyed by fishing, farming and related industries" /end ID]
The best way to save animals (including humans) from harm, protect the environment, reduce pollution, fight back against the climate crisis & reduce plastic use is to drastically decrease the production & consumption of all animal products including fish & leather. The evidence on this is clear, while evidence supporting the notion that non-plastic straws and real hide leather are superior choices with a big enough positive impact to justify the amount of hype surrounding them is not.
"In the oceans, fishing nets, are among the most prevalent form of plastic pollution. One study published in 2018 found that 46% of the 1.8 trillion pieces of plastic estimated to be in the infamous Great Pacific Garbage Patch came from fishing nets." - BBC: Plastic or paper? The truth about drinking straws
"A significant reduction in meat consumption is essential to mitigate climate change..." - Wikipedia: Environmental impacts of animal agriculture

Whales are freaking awesome
Tumblr media
When I was a kid I loved the series Ocean Girl and it totally got me fascinated with whales. They are just so intelligent and for the most part very sociable. They are fascinating to me. Most of all I am fascinated with them because they look at us humans and are like: "Yo, fellow intelligent creature!"
There are a ton of videos online with all sorts of whales coming to human divers or humans on boats and show them where they got tangled up with fishing hooks and fishing lines. Because they understand that humans are likely to want to help them - and because they know humans will understand when they show them. This might seem very random, but it actually betrays so much intelligence from their side - and the ability to understand how humans are thinking in some regards.
In Australia there was a school of orcas, that worked together with humans to capture other whales. While we now can talk about the moral of this (class traitors, man!), this is interesting because it was wild whales that were not trained to do that. They just worked together with humans.
There is also another thing: While those entire SeaWorld types shows are horrid and whales of no sort belong in a fucking swimming pool... We also have seen in the wild that dolphins and some whales will do tricks for humans knowing that humans might actually feed them for that.
I find this so interesting, because it is one of those things were once again we humans just think of ourselves as so much more intellgent than other creatures out there... But we are not really the only kind of intelligent creature nor the only animal able to understand the intelligence in other animals either.
But we also need to do better to protect those animals. Because we are horrible to me. Also the polution. The normal one and the noise polution as well. We should just do better by those creatures, man.

Whoever decided to read this today, I want you to know that even the smallest thing you do today, whether it would be crushing up your water bottle or cans to save space in landfills or recycle or even complement something today has the power no matter how small to make a difference in the world. Whether you make somone smile or help save the ocean so much by recycling YOU are amazing and I thank you for helping us! Don't give up, you don't know how much you help.

100 million sharks die every year. 8,500,000 die every month. 300,000 every day. 12,500 every hour. 210 every minute. 3 every second.
In a study conducted by a Dalhousie University biologist, Boris Worm, it was discovered that the originally estimated 100 million sharks may be grandly understated. They learned that a total of 273 million sharks were being killed per year.
To put that into perspective, if 273 million sharks were killed annually, that could be as many as 7-9 sharks per second.
Source:
We need sharks. As a keystone species, the ocean ecosystem will die without them. Overfishing, loss of habitat, and finning are killing sharks at a rate they cannot recover from.
Donating to shark conservation organizations can be a great first step to saving the sharks.
And, because that was a heavy topic, here’s a shark in a party hat.

I love Boats (but they probably suck)
Tumblr media
I wanna talk about the ocean this week and because of that I wanna talk about boats. Well, ships.
Something you gotta understand about me, I love the ocean. While I never grew up next to the ocean, my aunt and uncle had a vacation home on one of the German islands in the north sea and we spend a lot of time there. I always found the ocean always soothing. And because of that I always loved boats.
I am pretty much immune against sea sickness. I have been on ships during strong storms and such and never felt sick. On the contrary, I found it kinda soothing. Whenever I got to sleep on ships (even with stormy seas) I slept like a little kitten.
If I got a research position on a ship, I would be the happiest little alpaca.
But... I also see that there is a big problem with boats and ships how we use them in today's society. See, when the whales started to attack those yachts in the Mediterranean a lot of folks I know would argue: "But what about the normal people who just love boating?"
And I was like... "Uhm, dunno what to tell you, but 'normal people' cannot afford to have their own boat."
Sure, a lot of them still are workers, but they are still wealthy enough. And here is the thing: All those boats on the ocean are actually not a good thing for the animals living in the ocean for several reasons. There is the just straight up polution that the different boats leave there. Through the burning of fossil fuels, but also through all sorts of waste ending in the ocean.
And currently there are just too many boats on the ocean. Especially too many boats that are just there for recreational purposes. Be it someone with a small yacht, be it s fucking asshole billionaire with the big yacht, or be it those stupid cruise ships that are just bad for everyone and everything.
So, yeah... I love boats. But... I think that maybe we should have less of them...
